Siddhartha Gautama, later known as the Buddha, achieved enlightenment through deep meditation and introspection after years of searching for truth and understanding the nature of suffering. He practiced extreme asceticism but ultimately realized that the path to enlightenment lay in the "Middle Way," a balanced approach between indulgence and severe self-denial. While meditating under the Bodhi tree, he gained profound insights into the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, leading to his awakening and the realization of Nirvana. This transformative experience marked the beginning of his teachings on Buddhism.
