Shakyamuni Buddha is a title given to Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. He lived around the 5th to 4th century BCE in what is now modern-day Nepal and India. After years of seeking enlightenment, he attained it while meditating under the Bodhi tree. This experience led him to teach others about the path to enlightenment and the nature of suffering. Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings emphasize the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which guide followers in overcoming suffering and achieving spiritual awakening. His life and teachings have inspired millions and continue to influence various cultures and spiritual practices around the world.
