Leader

Buddha, born with the name Siddhartha Gautama, was a teacher, philosopher and spiritual leader regarded as the founder of Buddhism. He lived and taught in a region near the present-day border of Nepal and India sometime between the sixth and the 4th centuries. The word Buddha means "exalted" or "enlightened." While scholars agree that Buddha was actually present, the days and days of his life are still debated. According to the well-known story of his life, after trying various teachings for years, and finding none of them acceptable, Siddhartha Gautama spent a pleasant night and meditated deeply under the tree. During his meditation, all the answers he sought were clear, and he gained full insight, and thus became a Buddhist.
