Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical Buddha and the founder of Buddhism. He was born around the 5th–6th century BCE in Lumbini, which is in present-day Nepal. Born as a prince, Siddhartha lived in luxury but became deeply moved by seeing old age, sickness, and death. This led him to renounce his royal life in search of a path to end suffering.
