The Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama in ancient India, founded Buddhism. Renouncing princely comforts, he pursued enlightenment, eventually attaining it under the Bodhi tree. His teachings, centered on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, emphasize compassion, mindfulness, and liberation from suffering, inspiring millions worldwide with his wisdom.

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
“Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.”
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
“In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”
“Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.”
“The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.”
“You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”
