Guatama Buddha, as a young man became acutely aware of the amount of suffering in this world; people get sick, they grow old and die, and often are cruel to each other. He wondered why that was so, so he started by living as an ascetic, traveling through the region looking for answers to his question. Then he decided to meditate on the question until he could discover the truth. After a long period of meditation under a Bodhi tree he became enlightened, and then began teaching people about what he learned. His students analyzed his teachings and meditated on them and became convinced. Some of them also became enlightened and so the practice spread.
Buddhist monk in retreat is about 8-12 hours a day, out of retreat 3 to 5 hours daily. actually it depends on monks, many of them have break after one hour session. some of them is 1 hour in thé morning, one hour at the evening.
Buddha is actually not fat like all of his statues, that is the god of happiness in a different religion. The people introducing this religion found it more convenient to introduce a new religion with a failure face, creating the "Buddha" we know today. Buddha was an East Indian prince, one day he decided to sneak out of his home that restricted him from the outside world. When he saw the distraught and starvation of his land, he felt sorrowful. That day altered everything he knew and he began his journey of enlightenment. After many days of fasting he realizes that starvation is not the way to enlightenment and decides to meditate over his many questions. He finds many answers in the process and many followers as well. Making the "Buddhism" we know today I recommend the book "What Would Buddha Do" It’s amazing
