Siddhartha Gautama, known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was the historical founder of Buddhism. Born a prince in Lumbini, Nepal, he renounced worldly life to seek an end to suffering, eventually achieving full enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, India. He then spent the remainder of his life teaching the Dharma, the path to liberation, sharing his profound insights into the nature of existence and the Four Noble Truths.
