Gautama Buddha, or simply Buddha, may be called by different names, but he has been a prominent figure in many Asian cultures for centuries. Although much is still not known about him, he was a monk, teacher, and philosopher, whose teachings became the foundation of Buddhism. It is said that he was born in Nepal and lived between the 6th and 4th centuries.
Buddha is also a term that means ‘Awakened One’ or ‘The Enlightened One’. After years of practicing various philosophies and becoming unsatisfied with them, he finally goes into deep meditation. This is when he attained full enlightenment and the answers came to him.
Armed with new wisdom (and with convincing from the king of the gods, Brahma), he was able to teach. First, it was only his followers. But then, as time passed, his wonderful words spread across the world. Today, he remains as one of the most influential figures whose wisdom is still a source of guidance to many.
