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.
