The Enlightened One (Buddha)

The Enlightened One, known as Buddha, was a spiritual teacher who achieved profound understanding of the nature of suffering and the path to true happiness. Born as Siddhartha Gautama around 2,500 years ago in India, he sought to find a way to end human suffering through meditation, ethical living, and insight. His teachings emphasize mindfulness, compassion, and the importance of understanding the impermanent nature of life. Buddha’s enlightenment offers a practical guide for overcoming desire and attachment, helping individuals attain inner peace and liberation from suffering. His insights form the foundation of Buddhism, a spiritual tradition practiced worldwide.
