Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha or Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in the 6th century BCE in what is now Nepal, he renounced his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering. After years of spiritual practice and deep meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. From then on, he became known as Shakyamuni, meaning "Sage of the Shakya Clan."
