Shakyamuni Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama, was a prince who renounced worldly life to seek an end to suffering. Through deep meditation and profound insight under the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment, or Nirvana. As the historical founder of Buddhism, his teachings—the Dharma—provide a path to understanding the nature of reality and achieving liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
