Siddhartha Gautama, known as Buddha, was a prince who, faced with life's suffering, renounced his privileges to seek the truth. After years of extreme practices, he achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and dedicated the rest of his life to teaching the path to freedom from suffering. His teachings gave rise to Buddhism, which has been passed down through generations as a guide to personal and spiritual transformation.
