Best Answer

Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama who was born in during the 500s BC He was so very sheltered that it wasnt until he was in his thirtys that he knew about suffering and all of its negative add-ons. He wasnt proclaimed "The Buddha" until he found enlightenment, or spiritual understanding. He found enlightenment while he was meditating under a tree for about a month or so. When he was being taught by gurus and monks, he didnt find it satisfying so he went out on his own that way. While he was meditating, he found out about the four noble truths. The four noble truths are: suffering is a part of human life, suffering comes from desires for pleasure and material goods, overcoming desire brings suffering to an end and that desires can be overcome by following the eightfold path. Only then he was named "The Buddha" which means "Enlightened one".
