Buddhism
Buddhism is one of the world’s oldest and most profound spiritual traditions, originating in ancient India around the 6th century BCE. It began with the story of a prince named Siddhartha Gautama, who, despite being surrounded by luxury, became deeply disturbed by the suffering he witnessed outside the palace walls. Determined to find a path beyond suffering, he set off on a spiritual journey that ultimately led to his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. From that moment, he became known as the Buddha – the Awakened One.
