After 5 years of listening to different Guru's and trying all kinds of spiritual paths he sat down and meditated on the subject of suffering.

Where and how Buddhism is begun?

Well, I think it began in India but I'm not sure, and it began by Prince Guatama Siddhartha aka Buddha. Hope that helped you! :) Buddhism WAS "invented" by the spoiled Prince Siddhartha Gautama. Siddhartha left his wife, wealth and newborn son to see if he could find a way to end world suffering. Buddhism began because he saw a Monk who was real happy, but he said, "How can you be happy with this suffering around you? So he left his whole life behind and sat down for 40 day below a tree and finally was happy.
