Gautama Buddha also is known as Siddhartha Gautama. With the help of
Siddhartha Gautama teachings, Buddhism takes place. Gautama Buddha was
born in Lumbini. Siddhartha Gautama realizes that meditation is the only
path to awakening. Gautama decides to live his life as a Yogi. Gautama

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha or Siddhartha Buddha
or Buddha founded Buddhism. He was one of the many Sramana philosophers
of his time. According to the Buddhist tradition, Buddha was born in
Lumbini, now in Nepal. He was brought up by his mother’s younger sister
and his father wanted him to be a great king. It is said that his father
shielded him from religious teachings and human sufferings.

Buddha was married to Yashodhara at the age of 16 and they both had a
son named Rahula. When he was 29; he saw an old man despite his
father’s efforts to hide from him the aged, suffering old people. This
depressed him and he quit his palace for the life of a mendicant.
According to the early Buddhist texts, when Buddha realized that
meditative dhyana was the right path to awakening. Several life lessons
and teachings have been provided by Buddha in his biographies and
Buddhist texts.

One of my all time favorite Buddha quote is, “As you walk, eat, and
travel, be where you are. Otherwise, you will miss most of your life”.
This is quite true in all aspects of our life. Be it something that you
are doing, eating or be it someplace you are traveling to; we can never
experience life to its best if we are not completely present
there, at that particular moment. We need to be mentally and physically
present to see life happening. That is how we will never miss a single
bit of our life.

Buddha has taught us so many life lessons; each lesson is a gem and
gives us an opportunity to understand the world and make it a better
place. His teachings and ideologies help us walking on this path of life
and helping us throughout the journey. Buddha once said, “You only lose
what you cling to”. It is very difficult to not get used to the things
that we have in our life; the things that help us grow and be what we
are. And we can only lose those things that we cling on to; how can
someone lose something that he never had. To live a happy and content
life; we must not forget the lessons that Buddha have taught us, they
will help us face the hardships of life with a smile on our face and
faith in our heart because, in the end, it is the faith that matters.

From that time Gautama was known as Lord Buddha. Buddha changes
people like Angulimala, Cannibals such as Alavaka. Buddha totally
changed the lives of many who believed in him. Buddha believed that by
meditation everyone can get to awakening. Gautam Buddha also known for
