"The four gates" represent the state of mind of the prince with respect to the suffering of aging, illness and death. Siddhattha met with - an aging man, a sick man and a corpse. In the fourth trip he met a calm, serene ascetic monk, who inspired Siddhattha to have same kind of life. Superficial prosperity in economy and relative stability in political environment cannot relieve people from worry, fear, anxiety and suffering and cannot lead them to ultimate happiness.
Waging his own fight against the suffering of aging, illness and death, our own primesuspect has reached a new level of Folding enlightnment! :)
Sabbe sattaa sukhi hontu
Sabbe sattaa sukhi hontu is a Pali phrase meaning "May all beings be well (or happy)". It's not, properly speaking, a mantra. It's a chant that is used in exactly the same way as a mantra. Unlike most mantras, it has a definite grammatical meaning.
Sabbe = all
Sattaa = beings
Sukhi = happy, well
Hontu = may they be
