Shakyamuni Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama, was the historical founder of Buddhism in ancient India. After years of spiritual quest and rigorous meditation, he attained full enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, becoming a Buddha—an awakened one. He spent the remainder of his life teaching the path to liberation from suffering, establishing the foundational principles of Buddhist philosophy and practice for all sentient beings.
