Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in the 6th century BCE in what is now Nepal, he renounced his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering. After years of deep meditation and ascetic practice, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha, or "Awakened One." His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path form the foundation of Buddhist philosophy and practice, guiding followers toward liberation from suffering and the cycle of rebirth.
