Siddhartha Gautama, known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was the historical founder of Buddhism. Born in ancient Lumbini (present-day Nepal) around the 6th century BCE, he renounced princely life in pursuit of spiritual truth. After years of asceticism and meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, subsequently teaching the path to liberation from suffering for over forty years. His teachings form the foundation of Buddhist philosophy and practice worldwide.
