 | | Gautama Buddha was a spiritual teacher believed to have lived between approximately 563 BCE and 483 BCE on the Indian subcontinent, in the Gangetic Plains area of modern Nepal and northern India. | | | Gautama is the key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules were summarized after his death and memorized by the sangha. | | | Gautama was from then on known as "The Perfectly Self-Awakened One", the Sammasambuddha. |

| | According to the Buddhist books, the founder of the religion was a prince of the name of Siddartha. | | | The religion known as Buddhism originated about the beginning of the 6th century B.C., in the north of Hindustan. | | | According to its etymology the word means "extinction," "blowing out," as of a candle; and most Orientalists are agreed that in the Buddhist scriptures generally it is equivalent to annihilation. |

| | Thus darkness and ignorance were dispelled by the light as Siddartha Gautama became enlightened and was henceforth known as the Buddha. | | | Siddartha told him that he was purifying himself in order to achieve nirvana, and he promised to teach the king after he attained enlightenment. | | | Siddartha reasoned that a life of penance and pain was no better than a life of luxury and pleasure, because if penance on earth is religion, then the heavenly reward for penance must be irreligion. |

His father was King Sudhodhana, who was the ruler of the Sakya (also spelled Cakya) clan of Aryan linage, in the ancient kingdom of Kesala. | | | For example, the founder of Buddhism was born with the name “Siddartha Gautama.” When he received his Enlightenment from the Spirit of God, he was given a new title, “Gautama Buddha.” 11.1.1. |

| | The power and sublimity of Gautama's original doctrines should be estimated by their influence, not by their interpreters; nor by that innocent but lazy and ceremonious church which has arisen on the foundations of the Buddhistic Brotherhood or "Sangha." | | | A generation ago little or nothing was known in Europe of this great faith of Asia, which had nevertheless existed during twenty-four centuries, and at this day surpasses, in the number of its followers and the area of its prevalence, any other form of creed. | | | The extravagances which disfigure the record and practice of Buddhism are to be referred to that inevitable degradation which priesthoods always inflict upon great idea committed to their charge. |

Because his biography was not written down until many years after his death, his complete life story is not known. | | | According to tradition, however, the gods knew when it was time for Siddarthaâs time of enlightenment, and stepped in to make sure he would see the suffering that was to lead him on his spiritual quest. | | | For the first six years, Siddartha roamed the countryside, begging for his food and attempting to sublimate his earthly concerns through methods like yoga and self-mortification, or depriving oneself of even the bare necessities. |
