​About Buddhism Buddha Shakyamuni

The Buddha Shakyamuni was born in Lumbini, Nepal as prince Siddhartha in 563 B.C. and lived to be eighty years old. As a young man, Siddhartha left the pleasures of royal life in search of an end to the miseries of existence.

By practicing the middle way of gently examining the nature of his own mind he attained buddhahood, the enlightened state.
