Buddha was a young Hindu prince in India who was concealed from the rest of the world . On one summer day decided to venture out of his palace. One his journey he saw death, pain, and poverty. Throughout his whole life he had never been exposed to any sort of pain thus making it his first negative experience. He went back to his palace to see his Hinduism teacher for guidance. The prince asked him, "What is the meaning of life?" unfortunately, the Veda (book of Hindu text arranged in a for of questions made so there will be no question to go unanswered) did no have an answer for that question. I anger he ventured deep into the forest to try to find the answer the to his questions in nature. He gave away all of his worldly possessions. There he meditated for three weeks. When he stopped he had found all of his answers. He returned to his village and taught his teachings to his students that had similar experiences as him. They called him "Buddha" meaning "Enlightened One" in Hindi.
Buddha means "enlightened one" or "awakened one", that is someone who understand reality. The Buddha is Siddhartha Gautama who was an Indian prince. A short history of The Buddha is as follows:
In the year 534 BCE, a young Indian prince named Siddhartha Gautama (age 29) was deeply troubled about the fact that so many people suffer. So he left his wife and child and renounced his throne to find out the answer to why there was suffering. Now it should be noted when Buddhists speak of suffering this includes dissatisfaction (unhappiness) with the way things are. Siddhartha went to study with various gurus to try to find the answer to his question. Theses gurus had him do various types of yoga and meditation to try to help him with his quest. None of them seem to have an answer to his question though.
Siddhartha left these various gurus and joined in with a group of ascetics. Asceticism is a path in which you deprive the body in order to conquer and control the mind. He practiced asceticism fiercely, almost to the point of death. At that point he realized that giving in to pleasure, as he did when he was a prince, nor trying to punish the body, was the proper path to finding the answer. So he sat down and meditated under a pi-pal tree. During this meditation he discovered the root of all suffering and the path to how to overcome suffering and became enlightened.
After his enlightenment he meets up with his ascetic friends, who by now were critical of him for leaving the path of asceticism. But he explains to them what he had discovered and they were instantly converted. From there The Buddha taught for 45 years until his death at 85 converting many to his teachings and now Buddhism is the 4th largest religion in the world.
