Buddha, meaning "the awakened one" or "the enlightened one," is the title given to Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. Siddhartha Gautama was born in the 6th century BCE in what is now modern-day Nepal. He was born into a royal family and lived a life of luxury and privilege.

However, Siddhartha became disillusioned with the materialistic and transient nature of life. He renounced his royal lifestyle and embarked on a spiritual quest to understand the nature of human suffering and the path to liberation. After years of intense meditation and self-discipline, he attained enlightenment, gaining deep insight into the nature of existence and the causes of suffering.

Following his enlightenment, Siddhartha Gautama became known as the Buddha. He spent the rest of his life teaching others about his insights and the path to liberation from suffering, which became the foundation of Buddhism. The teachings of the Buddha, known as the Dharma, cover various aspects of human existence, ethics, meditation, and the ultimate goal of attaining liberation and enlightenment, known as Nirvana.

The Buddha's teachings emphasize the Four Noble Truths, which outline the nature of suffering, its causes, the possibility of its cessation, and the path to its cessation. The Eightfold Path, a set of principles for ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom, is considered the means to attain liberation.

Buddha's teachings and philosophy have had a profound impact on millions of people around the world, and Buddhism has become one of the major world religions. The Buddha is revered as a spiritual teacher and guide, embodying wisdom, compassion, and the potential for every individual to attain enlightenment.
