Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha or simply the historical Buddha, is the founder of Buddhism. He lived in ancient India (circa 5th–4th century BCE) and attained enlightenment (bodhi) under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, becoming fully awakened to the nature of reality.
The name “Shakyamuni” means “Sage of the Shakya clan,” referring to his royal lineage before renouncing worldly life. He spent the rest of his life teaching the Dharma (the path to liberation), guiding beings toward the cessation of suffering (dukkha) through ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom.
