Biography
Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, was born as a royal prince in a
place called Lumbini, which was originally in northern India, but is now part of
Nepal. His exact lifetime is uncertain, yet most historians date his lifetime from
563 BC to 483 BC.
The meaning of the word Buddha is "The Enlightened One", or "The
Awakened One", and refers to one who has become enlightened. Siddhartha
Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha of all eras.
Gautama enjoyed a comfortable upbringing, and when he reached the age of
16, his father arranged his marriage to his cousin. According to tradition, she
gave birth to a son.
Siddhartha Gautama was provided with everything he could want or need.
However, he was not satisfied with his life, and felt that material wealth was
not his life's goal.
One day, he left the palace to see the world outside, and was confronted with
the sufferings of life, which he never knew before. The next day, at the age of
twenty-nine, he left the palace to lead an ascetic life, with the determination to
find the answer to the problem of human suffering.
For six years, Siddhartha Gautama followed ascetic practices, studying and
following different methods of meditation, with various religious teachers.
However, he was not satisfied, and felt that he had not found any real answer
to the problem of human suffering.
Next, he took his austerities even further, and tried to find enlightenment
through deprivation of worldly goods, including food. After nearly starving, he
decided that extreme asceticism didn't work for him, and adopted the path of
moderation, which the Buddhists call "the Middle Way".
According to tradition, it is said that at the age of 35, Siddhartha Gautama sat
under a tree, known as the Bodhi tree, and vowed not to get up until finding
the truth. He sat and meditated, and after 49 days he attained Enlightenment.
From that time, Siddhartha Gautama became known as the Buddha, "The
Enlightened One.
The Buddha realized the cause of human suffering, and the steps necessary
to eliminate it. These discoveries became known as the "Four Noble Truths",
which are at the heart of the Buddhism.
For the remaining years, he traveled through the Indian subcontinent,
teaching people the principles of the Buddhism.
