The Buddha, which means "the Enlightened One" or "the Awakened One," refers primarily to Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. He lived approximately from the 6th to the 4th century BCE in what is now modern-day Nepal and India. According to Buddhist tradition, Siddhartha was born into a royal family and, upon encountering the realities of human suffering, left his privileged life in search of deeper truth and understanding.
