Lord Buddha also known as Gautama Buddha, Siddhartha
Gautama, Buddha and Shakyamuni was born in Lumbini, Nepal in 623 B.C. he was
born in royal family as a prince. When he was grown, one day he saw an old man,
sick man, and a corpse. He saw them all suffering. This sight affected him a
lot.
When he was 29 he left the palace for the search of
truth of existence and suffering. After years of practice one day he attained
the enlightenment and for the rest of his life he spread
his message of spiritual life to not only his disciples but the common people he
gave emphasis on the purification of mind, heart and ultimately, soul by
following the Eightfold Path, the Four Noble Truths and the Five Perceptions.
This path included the right speech, understanding, determination, deeds,
efforts, awareness, thinking and living.
After
spreading his message to the world successfully, Buddha died at the age of 80
years at Kushinagar, India.
