Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher who founded Buddhism. Born into a wealthy family in ancient India, he lived a life of luxury until he became disillusioned with the material world and set out on a spiritual quest.

After years of wandering and seeking, Buddha achieved enlightenment at the age of 35, becoming a Buddha, or "awakened one." His teachings emphasized inner peace, compassion, and mindfulness as a path to liberation from suffering, and his message of love, wisdom, and compassion continues to inspire and guide people of all backgrounds and beliefs today.
