The Buddha was a hindu sant/satguru(enlightened and blessd soul),not a god or a prophet, who lived two thoushand five thoushand years ago in acient India. A very famous king of India called King Ashok believed in him and spread his messages all the way across India and Asia through missoneries, causing the followers of the Buddha's to grow to such an extenient that it split of Hinduism and became a separate religion called Buddhism!

Before Christanity and Islam, Buddhism was the worlds largest religion, almost the whole of Asia was Buddhist. Still Buddhism is the worlds largest religion after Christanity and Islam.

So I suppose you could say tha tthe Buddha was the founder of the Buddhism!

Buddha was born in Hindu family in Lumbini, Nepal into a royal family where he was a prince.

He was the one who figured out a way in which people could do to be freed from suffering and sorrow.

His birth name was Siddhartha Gautama

A grateful and hopeful man who taught us how to live in peace and harmony, a great man who deserves for everyone to know his name, Buddha.

The Buddha grew up a prince in India. Until he was a young man, he had never encountered aging or death. When he happened to hear a story of a servant's death, he became very disillusioned about his posh life. Leaving the palace and his princely lifestyle, he began his historic journey towards enlightenment. He tried all the methods of worship, but in vain. At last, He sat below 'A bodhi tree' for 6 days and attained enlightenment. Thus was born Buddhism or Buddhadhamma. Taking on 5 disciples, called the Bodhisattva, He aided others on the path of enlightenment. His highest teachings are that any that seeks enlightenment is a Buddhist. His intention was not to be worshipped or idolized in any way. Only to follow his example and that was all He desired for any creature seeking the place He had attained.

Buddha is the founder of Buddhism he is portrayed differently ffrom what he really is. Buddha came from a wealthy family and decidedd to give up his wealth to find out the reason why humans suffer. He came up with the Four Noble Truths ( i think it was called). The four noble truths were the four ways how to reach nirvana or complete happiness and break the cycle of reincarnation.

Almost 2600 years ago Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, was a prince in Nepal that saw (perhaps because he had been isolated from all negative experience) how bad and painful the world was and decided that all human experience is tied to suffering. He resolved to study and solve this problem. After many years he formulated the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

The remainder of his life was devoted to teaching his philosophy.
