BUDDHISM Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama,
who would become the Buddha. It is believed
that he was born between the sixth and fourth
centuries BCE in Lumbini, a town in Southern
Nepal near the border of India. It is also known
that he was born a Hindu, and Hinduism greatly
influenced his teachings and the Buddhist
doctrine. Siddhartha Gautama was raised a
prince, and experienced the comforts of a
luxurious and sheltered lifestyle.
BUDDHISM
However, upon venturing outside the sheltered palace,
he encountered four sights which changed the way he
saw the world: the first three were old age, sickness,
and death. The fourth was a monk in meditation, whose
example inspired Gautama to renounce the material
world. At the age of 29, he left his family to pursue his
search for the deeper meaning of life and traveled
throughout Northeast India. He then spent time learning
from the best philosophers and the wisest gurus of that
era, but found that it was not enough. He went through
self-mortification, which led him to extreme asceticism.
BUDDHISM After six years of wandering and learning, Gautama
decided that asceticism was not the war to achieve his
goals. He sat under a sacred fig tree to meditate; it was
in his meditation that he attained enlightenment. He
became free of desire, illusion, ill will, and inner
suffering, thereby attaining peace. Hence, he was called
Shakyami (capability and kindness) Buddha, and the
tree was known as the Bodhi tree. The central doctrines
of Buddhism are founded on the objective of pursuing
moral deeds and reaching enlightenment in order to put
an end to suffering, also known as samsara.

provides the guidance for achieving enlightenment. The
Sangha, the community of monks and nuns, supports
practitioners on their journey.
