1 About one in five of all the people in the world follow the teachings of the Buddha, who lived about 2,600
years ago. (He was born in 563 BC.) The Buddha' is a title, not a name. It means 'the Enlightened One' or
'the One who knows'. The Buddha's real name was Siddhartha. He was the son of a Sakya king in northern
India. He and his family were all Hindus and belonged to the Gautama clan.
2 Gautama Siddhartha was brought up in luxury. He lived in his father's palace and saw nothing of the outside

to a mere skeleton. But eventually, he realized that all this was foolish and useless. Now he sat in deep
meditation under a bo tree near Gaya (in Bihar). Here at last, he attained Enlightenment and found the
answers to his questions. He was then 35 years old.
