About the author
Gautama Buddha (c. 563–483 BCE), also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher, philosopher, and founder of Buddhism—one of the world's most profound and enduring wisdom traditions. Born into a royal family in present-day Nepal, he renounced worldly pleasures in search of the truth behind human suffering.
After years of meditation and ascetic practice, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and spent the rest of his life teaching the Dharma—the path to liberation through ethical living, mindfulness, and insight. His teachings, preserved in texts such as the Dhammapada, focus on the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the impermanence of all things.
Buddha’s insights into the nature of the mind, suffering, and compassion continue to guide millions on the path of inner peace, wisdom, and awakening.
