About Shakyamuni Buddha

Born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama in the Shakya Kingdom of southern Nepal, Shakyamuni left behind a life of privilege to seek the truth about suffering and the nature of existence.

Through determination, meditation, wisdom, and compassion, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha — the Awakened One.

His teachings on mindfulness, compassion, wisdom, and liberation have transformed countless lives for more than 2,500 years.
