Buddha Shakyamuni, 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 the Shakya clan, 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-discipline, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha, meaning “The Awakened One.” He taught the Four Noble Truths: that life involves suffering (duḥkha), suffering has a cause (craving or desire), it can end (nirvāṇa), and there is a path to its end. This path is the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. The teachings of the Buddha form the foundation of Buddhism and guide countless individuals in their spiritual journey toward wisdom (prajñā), ethical living, and inner peace.
