Buddha Siddhartha Gautama
Who is Buddha Siddhartha Gautama?
Buddhism originates from the Buddha.
The word "Buddha "is a title that means" one who has awakened "in the sense of"awakened to reality".
Buddha was born about two and a half thousand years ago under the name Siddhartha Gautama.
He did not claim to be a god or a prophet.
He was a human being who became Enlightened by experiencing life in the deepest possible way.
Siddhartha was born into a royal family in a small country on the border of India and Nepal.
According to traditional biographies, he received a privileged upbringing, but gave up a carefree and protected existence when he realized that there are such cruel things in life as aging, illness and death.
This led him to think about the meaning of life.
Eventually, he was prompted to leave the palace and follow the traditional Indian path of a wandering hermit, a seeker of Truth.
He diligently studied meditation with many teachers, and then began to lead an ascetic lifestyle.
These actions were based on the belief that it is possible to free the spirit by rejecting the flesh.
He became such a strict ascetic that he almost starved to death.
But he never managed to solve the mystery of life and death.
It seemed that the true understanding was as far away as before.
Therefore, he abandoned this path and looked into his own mind, into his heart.
He decided to trust his intuition and learn from direct experience.
He sat down under the bodhi tree and vowed to stay in this place until he reached Enlightenment.
Forty days later, on the full moon of May, Siddhartha achieved final Liberation.
Buddhists believe that he has reached a state of existence that transcends everything else in the world.
While ordinary experience is conditioned by upbringing, psychology, beliefs, and peculiarities of perception, Enlightenment is Unconditional.
The Buddha is free from attachment, anger and ignorance.
His qualities are wisdom, compassion and freedom.
The enlightened mind penetrates into the essence of the deepest life processes, and therefore into the cause of human suffering – the problem that initially prompted Siddhartha to spiritual search.
During the remaining forty five years of his life, the Buddha traveled extensively in northern India, spreading his views.
His teaching is known in the East as the Buddha Dharma, or "The Teaching of the Enlightened One".
He appealed to people of all social groups.
Many of his disciples have achieved Enlightenment.
They, in turn, taught other people, and thus the continuous line of transmission of the teaching continues up to the present day.
The Buddha was not a god and did not claim his divine origin.
He was a man who, with the help of great efforts of his heart and mind, surpassed all his limitations.
He confirmed that every being has the potential to attain the Buddha nature.
Buddhists see him as an ideal human being and a guide who can lead us all to Enlightenment.
