Who was the Buddha and what does the Buddha term mean?

Answer 1

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.
