Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in ancient India around the 5th to 6th century BCE, he renounced worldly life in search of enlightenment. After years of deep meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, becoming the Buddha, meaning “The Awakened One.” He taught the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, guiding followers toward liberation from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. Revered across the Buddhist world, Shakyamuni represents wisdom, compassion, and the transformative power of awakening.
