Shakyamuni Buddha, or Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born about the 5th century BCE in Lumbini, present-day Nepal, he was a prince who abandoned his regal life to discover the truth about human suffering. After years of ascetic practices and intensive meditation, he achieved enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. His teachings, particularly the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, serve as the foundation for Buddhist practice and philosophy, encouraging millions of people around the world to seek escape from suffering.
