Budha
Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual leader and founder of Buddhism. He was born in Nepal in the 5th century BCE and lived a life of luxury as a prince until he left his palace to seek enlightenment. After years of meditation and self-reflection, he achieved enlightenment under a Bodhi tree and began teaching others about the path to liberation from suffering.
Buddha's teachings revolve around the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths state that suffering is inherent in life, suffering arises from craving and attachment, suffering can be overcome, and the path to the cessation of suffering is the Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path consists of right understanding, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.

He believed that all beings are interconnected and that true happiness can only be achieved through inner peace and understanding. His teachings have influenced countless people throughout history and continue to be a source of inspiration for many today.
In addition to his teachings, Buddha is also known for his emphasis on meditation as a means of achieving enlightenment. He taught various forms of meditation, including mindfulness meditation and loving-kindness meditation, which are still practiced by Buddhists today.
