Gautama
Budha was born in 563
B.C.. in northeast India. The Budha was the son of the King of the Sakyas.
Suddhodana, who ruled at Kapilavastu, on the border of Nepal. His mother was
Queen Maya. He was named Siddhartha. He lived amidst the pleasures of palace
life and at age 16 he was married to Princess Yasodhara.
They
had a son named Rahula. After seeing a decrepid old man, an invalid, and an
ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism.
Soon afterwards, at age 29, Siddhartha left the palace and his family going
to a hermitage where he became the monk Gautama, or, as he is still called,
Sakyamuni (The ascetic of the Sakyas). One day, meditating under a sacred
figtree, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi). He had become a Buddha!
From there on he traveled and preached for 44 years what was to become one of
the main religions of the world. He died at Kusinagara at age 80.
