Gautama Buddha was a spiritual leader and founder of Buddhism during the 6th century B.C. He believed to be born in Lumbini near the border of Nepal and India, about 2,600 years ago. With about millions and millions of followers, scholars think Buddhism is the world’s best religion. Its practice had historically been most influential in East and Southeast Asia.
Gautama Buddha was a philosopher who said extensively about love, peace, life, happiness and death. Buddha itself means βthe enlightened one,β which expresses more about what he taught others.
