Best Answer

Siddhartha Gautama, an Indian prince later known as the Buddha, was born in northern India around 563 BCE, where he developed his philosophies.

The Buddha himself expressly disavowed any special divine status or inspiration, and said that anyone, anywhere could achieve all the insight that he had. However, as Buddhism spread through Tibet, China, Japan and elsewhere in Asia, its followers continued to venerate gods drawn from their local indigenous belief systems.

Buddhism was founded by Siddhārtha Gautama also known as; Gautama Buddha, the Historical Buddha or simply Buddha. He was born into a noble family in Lumbini, an area that today lies in the South of Nepal. He lived and taught across Northern India and Southern Nepal between 560BCE - 480BCE. Modern historians are not in agreement over the precise date of his birth but it was around the year 500BCE.
