Siddhartha gautam
Siddhartha Gautama also proclaimed as the Gautama Buddha or the Shakyamuni who was a monk pauper, philosopher, scholar, educator and spiritual guide on whose instructions Buddhism was established. He is supposed to have endured and taught chiefly in the northeastern part of classical India sometime within the 6th and 4th centuries BCE
Gautama prepared a Middle Way within physical decadence and the strict asceticism observed in the sramaṇa movement which was prevalent in his region. He later explained completely other areas of ancient India such as Magadha and Kosala.
Siddhartha Gautama, a prince born around 563 BCE in Nepal, became the Buddha after renouncing his royal life to seek enlightenment. His journey led him to discover the 'Middle Way' and achieve enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at the age of thirty-five. He then spent the rest of his life teaching others about the nature of suffering and the path to liberation through Buddhism.
