Sakyamuni Buddha

Before being an Enlightenened One, Sakyamuni Buddha was Prince Siddharta who had everything he ever wanted. But he was not allowed to see sufferings.

One day, he decided to take a stroll outside the palace, and was shocked to see an old man, a sick person, a yogi and a dead body.

After this sights, he realised that there is no happiness in this very life and renounced his princely world to seek the truth and a way to end suffering.

He struggled and meditated beneath the Bodhi tree for seven long years and finally became Enlightened. He was the Buddha, the Tathagata

By cultivating various skillful means, he taught that there are 84,000 ways to the Truth or be Enlightened and his followers took his teachings to heart and spread it to the world. And his teachings or Dhamma are in the many forms and schools of Buddhism today.
