# Gautama Buddha

> He walked away from a royal household, sat under a tree until he grasped the mechanics of suffering, and spent forty-five years teaching a path out of it. What he called the Middle Way - between indulgence and self-torment - became the foundation of Buddhism, now practiced across Asia and beyond.

*Indian philosopher and the founder of Buddhism (623 or 563 BCE - 543 or 483 BCE)*

## Bio

Siddhartha Gautama was born in Lumbini to the Shakya clan in the 6th or 5th century BCE. He renounced his home life to live as a wandering ascetic, practicing mendicancy and meditation until he attained nirvana at Bodh Gaya. Afterward he moved through the lower Indo-Gangetic Plain, teaching and building a monastic order. His core doctrine - the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path - described a training of mind and conduct meant to lead from ignorance and craving to freedom. His followers compiled his teachings into the Vinaya and Sūtra Piṭakas, preserved through oral tradition in Middle Indo-Aryan dialects. Buddhism branched into Theravāda, Mahāyāna, and Vajrayāna, spreading across Asia even as it faded in India after the 8th century. He died in Kushinagar, reaching what the tradition calls parinirvana.
