Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in the Shakya clan in southern Nepal around the 6th century BCE, he was raised in luxury but became deeply troubled by the realities of human suffering, age, sickness, and death. This led him to renounce his royal life in search of a solution to suffering. After years of rigorous ascetic practices and meditation, Siddhartha realized that neither extreme self-indulgence nor self-mortification led to true liberation. He adopted the "Middle Way," a balanced approach to spiritual practice. Seated in meditation under a pipal (Bodhi) tree near Gaya, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha, or the "Awakened One."
