Answer 1

Prince Siddhartha left his palace and went among the people. eventually he realized enlightenment within his lifetime. He was the first to to awaken to Buddhahood in a single incarnation, because this usually takes many eons of accumulated compassion for the universe, it is considered to this day an extraordinary accomplishment. The Buddhas mind has no beginning or end, it is without circumference or center. Because it was not created, it cannot be destroyed. Because it has no boundary, it is said it cannot be contained and is "unstoppable".
Because it is primordially pure from the beginning and the natural state of all things, ignorance of its nature is like wise primordially pure.

Answer 2

Buddha came to be like any other man. The story is that he was born to a king and so was a wealthy prince who was sheltered from all the sufferings in life.
He was never allowed to venture outside of his beatiful surroundings to see poverty or sickness, all these things were removed from him. One day he went out and saw these things.

He decided to give up his princely life and try to follow the meaning and true path in life, on how to avoid suffering and pain.
He became a monk, an ascetic one at first and practiced the traditions of the hindus. After a while he came to the conclusion that these self mortifications were useless to him and believed that the traditions of the priests and monks up to that time were erroneous. He one day received some kind of insight and that insight is what he passed on to his disciples who were persuaded by it. That is it in a pinch.
You asked where he came from not his teachings.Those are the genral details of his life, the setting for all of this was India.

Answer 3

Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realised that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness. After six years of study and meditation he finally found 'the middle path' and was enlightened. After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma, or Truth — until his death at the age of 80.

He was the fonder of Buddhism or at least Buddhism is founded on his teachings. He saw the suffering of death, sickness and old age etc and wondered that is there a way to escape this sufferings. He concluded that our cravings are the root causes of our suffering. When he realized this truth- he was called Buddha meaning knowledgeable one. He is considered by many as reincarnation of the lord himself just like Krishna, Rama, Jesus, Mohamed and many others before him.

Answer 7

Hello ;)

He was a prince, from Western Nepal.

He was kept sheltered most of his life. Around age 30, he left his father's palace, and saw the suffering caused by sickness, aging, and death. This had such a profound effect upon him, that he became frightened. He spent years searching for a way to eliminate the suffering of these three phenomenon. Finally, by realizing the truth of the nature of things, he found a way around these sufferings. At age 40, beneath the shade of a Bodhi Tree, sheltered by a great Snake spirit, from the rains, he attained enlightenment. He spent the next 40 years teaching about the way to end suffering.

Many of us find truth in his teachings, and, although he is not worshipped in any way as a God, as his consciousness has passed into Nirvana (oblivion to many of us), We venerate his teachings, and his memory.

Namaste, and Happy Holidays,

Answer 8

The Buddha who is the founder of the Buddhist religion is called Buddha Shakyamuni. "Shakya" is the name of the royal family into which he was born, and "Muni" means "Able One." Buddha Skakyamuni was born as a royal prince in 624 BC in a place called Lumbini, which was originally in northern India but is now part of Nepal. His mother's name was Queen Mayadevi and his father's name was King Shuddhodana.

Answer 9

"Buddha" is actually a concept name given to anyone who attains enlightenment. When most people talk about "the Buddha" they're referring to the man, Prince Siddhartha of India who got the name "Buddha" when he achieved freedom from all afflicted thoughts, attachments and aversions, etc.

There is no "beginning and end" in Buddhism therefore we don't believe there's any beginning of "Buddha" and anyone can become one with the proper effort.

Answer 10

Buddha was just another human like you and I. However, what separates him from us is that he was the first person who began the foundation of what Buddhism teaches. There were other Buddhas before him, but he was the first to be recognized and praised for his teachings.
