He was born in Lumbini, Nepal, in the 6th century BCE.
Despite a lavish life, he encountered human suffering and death, leading him to embark on a spiritual quest.

After years of discipline practices, he achieved enlightenment under a Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India.
He understood the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.
The Four Noble Truths emphasize compassion, mindfulness, and non-violence.

He identified desire, attachment, and ignorance as the root causes of suffering, leading to a cycle of dissatisfaction.
Buddha asserted that suffering can be ended by eliminating these cravings, known as Nirvana.
The Eightfold Path consists of principles like understanding, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
