Born in Lumbini, Nepal, around the 6th century BCE, he renounced a life of luxury to seek freedom from suffering. Through deep meditation and insight, he attained full enlightenment, or nirvana. He then devoted his life to teaching the Dharma—the path to liberation—across ancient India, establishing teachings that remain the foundation of all Buddhist traditions today.
