The Buddha,whose personal name was Siddhattha and family name Gotama ,lived in North India in the 6th century B.C.His father, Suddhodana,was the ruler of the kingdom of the Sakyas.His mother was queen Maya.According to the custom of the time, the was married quite young, at the age of sixteen,to a beautiful and devoted young princess named Yasodhara.The young prince lived in his place with every Luxury at his command. But all of a sudden, he decided confronted with the reality of life and the suffering of mankind, he decided to find the solution-the way out of his univercal suffering. At the age of 29,soon after the birth of his only child,Rahula,he left his kingdom and become an ascetic in search of this solution.
For six years the ascetic Gotama wandered about the valley of the Ganges,meeting famous religious teachers,studying and following their systems and methods,and submitting himself to rigorous ascetic practices.They did not satisfy him. So he abdandoned aii traditional religions and their methods and wenthis own way.It was thus that one evening,seated under a tree(since then known as the Bodhi-or Bo-tree,the Tree of Wisdom),on the bank of the river Neranjara at Buddha-Gaya(near Gaya in modern Bihar),at the of age 35,Gotama attained Enlightenment,after which he was known as the Buddha, The Enlightened One.
After his Enlightenment,Gotama the Buddha delivered his first sermon to a group of five ascetics,his old colleagues, in the Deer park at Isipatana(modern Sarnath)near Benares.From that day ,for 45 years,he taught all classes of men and women-Kings and peasants,Brahmins and outcasts,bankers and beggars, holy men and robbers-without making the slightest distinction between them. He recognized on differences of caste or social groupings, and the Way he preached was open to all men and women who were ready to understand and to follow it.
At the age of 80,the Buddha passed away at Kusinara(in modern Uttar pradesh in India).
