Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher from ancient India who lived around the 5th to 6th century BCE. Born a prince in Lumbini (present-day Nepal), he renounced worldly life in search of truth and liberation from suffering. After years of meditation and ascetic practices, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. From then on, he became known as the Buddha, meaning "The Awakened One." He spent the rest of his life teaching the path to enlightenment through ethical living, meditation, and wisdom—the foundations of what became Buddhism.
