About Gautam Buddha

Gautam Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a pivotal figure in ancient Indian history and the founder of Buddhism. Born around 563 BCE in Lumbini, Nepal, to royal parents of the Shakya clan, he lived a life of luxury until he encountered the harsh realities of suffering, illness, and death during a royal outing. This profound realization led him to renounce his princely life, leaving behind his family and wealth in search of enlightenment. After years of ascetic practices and meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, where he discovered the path to liberation from suffering, which became the foundation of his teachings.

Buddha's teachings center around the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which outline the nature of suffering and the means to overcome it. He emphasized that suffering is an inherent part of life but can be transcended through understanding its causes and following a disciplined path of ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom. Unlike many religious leaders, Buddha did not claim divinity but rather positioned himself as a guide for others seeking truth and enlightenment. His teachings continue to resonate globally, inspiring millions to pursue a path of compassion, mindfulness, and spiritual awakening.
