Answer:

The Buddha is a titled used to refer to a man named "Siddharth Gautama". It means Fully Awakened One. He was born in a region of what is now known as Nepal and was the person who created the religion of Buddhism. He lived from about 563 BC to about 483 BC.

He is also called Shakyamuni Buddha because he was a member of the Śākyan clan, the ruling class of an aristocratic republic in that region.

                       About 2600 years ago, a clan called the "Shakyas" ruled the city of Kapilavastu

                     Siddhartha Gautama was born just outside the city in Lumbini. His father was a ruler named Shuddhodana, and his mother was named Maya. Maya died when Siddhartha was about 7 days old. His father controlled him in a very peaceful and nice way. There were home tutors for him as he was not interested in the outward things that took place at that time. Siddhartha lived in luxury; his father kept trouble and hard work far from him. A seer predicted that if Siddhartha stayed inside his palace his whole life, then he would become a great king. However, if he left the palace, then he would become a great religious leader. The king did not want his son to become a religious leader. He kept Siddhartha in the palace for his entire childhood.

               When Siddhartha turned 16 years old, his father found a woman for him to marry. He married a woman named Yashodhara and they had a son named Rahula.Although Siddhartha had everything he could want, he was still not happy. He wanted to learn about life outside his palace.

Legend says that he got out of the castle against his father's orders. He saw the "Four Great Sights": an old man, a sick man, a dead man, and a holy man with no home.

Siddhartha left his family, his land and everything else at the age of 29. He left everything to be a mendicant (a wandering ascetic); eventually he became a religious leader for the people.
