No, and it won't help you to. The Buddha gained Enlightenment after practicing severe austeries (denying himself all comforts, even food). Then he realized that punishing oneself is as self-defeating as indulging in excessive pleasures, since both approaches tie one's conscienceness to the physical state. He then began to eat reasonably, sleep sensibly, take exercise and rest in measure and meditate sincerely without making a fetish of it.

What was Buddha's religon?
Buddha' s religion was Buddhist. A way that you can remember that is: Take away the "ist" And add a small "a", Now you have the word Buddha And that's that for today! More information: The founder of Buddhism. Lord Buddha was a prince, who forsook the comforts of a palace to seek enlightenment. He realised the essential unreality of the world, in the bliss of nirvana and spent the remainder of his life teaching others how to escape the endless cycle of birth and death. Buddha was born approximately 400 BC. He was a noble prince and it is said his father sought to shield the young prince Siddharta from the pain and suffering of the world. However, at one point, Buddha sought to find a greater meaning to life. So, in disguise, he left the Palace and wandered around the Kingdom. Here, Siddhartha came across, death, old age, illness and suffering. This showed him the transitory nature of life, so he resolved to seek the meaning of life. Siddhartha left the Palace, including his wife and child, and travelled into the forests to spend his time meditating with other ascetics. In his quest for enlightenment, the Buddha fasted excessively so his body wasted away; however, enlightenment remained a far cry. At one point, a passing women gave him some food to eat and the Buddha realised it was a mistake to seek enlightenment by torturing the body. He regained his strength and resolved to follow a 'middle path' of avoiding excesses of fasting and feasting. On one day, the Buddha decided to sit under a Buddha tree until he attained enlightenment. For several days, he sat in meditation seeking nirvana. He was tested by various forces which tried to prevent him realising the goal. However, the Buddha was successful and entered in the blissful consciousness of nirvana for several days. On returning to normal consciousness, The Buddha made the decision to spend the remainder of his life teaching others how to escape the inherent suffering of life. For many years, the Buddha travelled around India, especially around the Ganges plain and in Nepal, teaching his philosophy of liberation. His teachings were transmitted orally and not written down until many years after his death.
