About Buddha
Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was born in the 5th century BCE in modern-day Nepal. He renounced his royal life in search of enlightenment and, after years of meditation and ascetic practices, attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, becoming the Buddha, or "the Awakened One." His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path laid the foundation for Buddhism, which emphasizes personal spiritual development and the pursuit of a deep understanding of the nature of reality and suffering.
