Shakyamuni Buddha—also known as Siddhartha Gautama—is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born around the 5th to 6th century BCE in what is now Nepal and India, he was a prince who renounced his royal life to seek the end of suffering. After years of meditation and spiritual practice, he attained enlightenment (bodhi) under the Bodhi tree and became the "Awakened One" or Buddha.
