Biography
Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism. Born in present-day Nepal in the 6th century BCE, he renounced his princely life to seek enlightenment. After years of meditation, he achieved Nirvana under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya, becoming the Buddha, which means 'awakened one.' He preached the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path as the way to end suffering and attain liberation. Buddha's teachings spread across Asia, shaping various schools of Buddhism and influencing millions of followers worldwide.
