Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born around the 5th to 6th century BCE in ancient India, he was a prince who renounced his royal life to seek the truth about suffering and the path to liberation. After years of meditation and deep spiritual practice, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, becoming the “Awakened One” or Buddha. Shakyamuni taught core Buddhist principles such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, guiding countless beings toward freedom from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. Revered as the Dharma Teacher, his life and teachings form the foundation of Buddhist philosophy and continue to inspire millions worldwide on their spiritual journeys.
