Quotes by Gautama Buddha
Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, one of the world’s major religions. Born around 563 BCE in Lumbini (present-day Nepal), he was a prince raised in luxury. However, he was deeply affected by the suffering he witnessed outside his palace walls. Seeking answers to life’s sufferings, he renounced his royal life and embarked on a spiritual journey. Through years of meditation and self-discipline, Siddhartha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India, and became known as the Buddha, meaning “The Awakened One.” His teachings, centered on the principles of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, offer a way to achieve freedom from suffering (dukkha) and reach enlightenment (nirvana).
