Shakyamuni Buddha

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was born into the royal Shakya clan in Lumbini, which is now part of Nepal, and he lived during the 6th century BCE as a prince surrounded by luxury and protection from the harsh realities of life. However, upon witnessing old age, sickness, death, and a wandering ascetic, he was deeply moved and chose to renounce his privileged life in search of a deeper truth. After years of ascetic practices and meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya at the age of thirty-five, becoming the Buddha, or “Awakened One”. He spent the next forty-five years traveling and teaching the Dharma, including the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, which offer a path to liberation from suffering.
