Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism who lived in the 5th to 6th century BCE. Born a prince in Lumbini (in present-day Nepal), he renounced his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering after witnessing old age, sickness, and death. Through deep meditation and self-inquiry, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, becoming the Buddha, meaning "The Awakened One." He taught the path to liberation through the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, guiding followers to overcome suffering (dukkha) and attain nirvana. Central to his teachings are the values of wisdom (prajñā), ethical conduct (śīla), and mental discipline (samadhi). His profound insights and practical guidance form the foundation of Buddhism, influencing millions worldwide on their spiritual journey toward peace and freedom from suffering.
