Lord buddha was known as siddhardha before he became Lord Buddha. Siddharth was a Hindu king or prince.
Buddhism was founded by Prince Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, who was born into a Hindu royal family in ancient India. He renounced his princely status to seek enlightenment and founded the principles of Buddhism based on his teachings and experiences.
Siddhartha Gautama who was later known as the Buddha became a prince on his birth into a royal family in northern India about 2500 years ago.
Prince Siddhartha became a Buddha after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India, around the age of 35. This event is known as the Buddha's Awakening or Enlightenment.
Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as the Buddha, was a prince before he renounced his royal life to pursue spiritual enlightenment and found Buddhism.
Prince Siddarthat Gautama is better known as the Buddha. 'Buddha' means 'Enlightened One.'
The Buddha was an Indian Prince, Siddhartha Gautama, who lived in the 5th century BCE. He became known as the "Enlightened One" (the Buddha) when he understood the cause of suffering and the way to end suffering.
He became the "Buddha".
He was born a prince and his birth name is Shakyamuni.
One of the great teachers ofBuddhism was the Buddha. The Buddha who became enlightened through nirvana and meditation later taught about the Four noble Truths, and the Eightfold path. In fact, the Buddha(known as Siddhartha Gautama) was the founder of Buddhism.
The last name of the Buddha before he became enlightened was Siddhartha. It was after his enlightenment that he was known as Gautama Buddha.
Buddha is "famous" in the same way as the Christian Jesus is "famous". Buddha was a well known and respected person at his birth, he was after all a Prince. As he grew and became enlightened he became well known for his teaching on the escape from suffering and the cycle of death and rebirth He continued to be respected for his teachings from that time until now and will continue to be respected and well known for years to come. So the answer is Buddha started out his life 2500 years ago as a "famous" person and remains so today.
"Buddha" means "Awakened One". Sidhartha Gautama became known as The Buddha after his awakening.
