Author : Buddha Sakyamuni

Buddha Sakyamuni, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is regarded as the founder of Buddhism and is revered as the Enlightened One who attained supreme wisdom and understanding through profound meditation and self-discipline. Born into a royal family in Lumbini, present-day Nepal, around the 5th century BCE, Siddhartha renounced his luxurious life in his quest to understand and overcome human suffering. After years of ascetic practices and deep meditation under the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, India, he achieved enlightenment and spent the remainder of his life teaching the Dharma, or the universal truths, to guide others on the path to spiritual awakening and liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth. His teachings have since been compiled into various texts that constitute the core scriptures of Buddhism, offering timeless wisdom on ethics, meditation, and wisdom.
