He was born a prince in a region of what is now India. He had a wife and young child at the time he challenged the tenets of Hinduism as a result of seeing people in various stages of suffering. He spent a number of years practicing various types of very strict yoga before attaining enlightenment while meditating under a Bodhi tree. From then he spread his understanding of life and the root causes of suffering and how to attain enlightenment through the practice of the "middle way"

Umm we learned about Buddha in English class when we read Siddhartha. He was born out of his mother womb and his father put walls around the castle to separate Buddha from the outside world, in order to protect him from knowing about the sorrows of the world. Buddha eventually went outside the wall, and learned about the sorrows of life and left his family and went on a journey to find enlightenment.
