Shakyamuni Buddha is the historical Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama in Nepal in the 6th–5th century BCE. "Shakyamuni" means "Sage of the Shakya Clan," referring to his royal lineage. After renouncing his princely life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India, and became the Buddha—the "Awakened One." He taught the path to liberation from suffering through the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, laying the foundation for Buddhism.
