The term "Buddha" refers to a title given to the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, who lived in the 6th to 4th century BCE. The title "Buddha" means "enlightened one" or "awakened one." Siddhartha Gautama, after years of spiritual seeking and meditation, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This event is often referred to as the Buddha's awakening or enlightenment.
Buddhism, as taught by the Buddha, revolves around the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths are:
1. The truth of suffering (dukkha)
2. The truth of the cause of suffering (samudaya)
3. The truth of the end of suffering (nirodha)
4. The truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering (magga)
The Eightfold Path consists of ethical and mental guidelines that lead to liberation from suffering. It includes right understanding, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
Buddhism has various traditions and schools, and its teachings have spread throughout Asia and beyond. The essence of Buddhism is often summarized in the pursuit of enlightenment and the alleviation of suffering through understanding and transcending the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara).

A man once told BUDDHA:
"I want Happiness"
BUDDHA replied :
First remove "I" thats " ego"
Then remove "wants" that " Desire"

Cause of unhappiness .

एक बार एक व्यक्ति ने बुद्ध से कहा:
"मैं खुशी चाहता हूं"
बुद्ध ने उत्तर दिया:
पहले "मैं" यानी "अहंकार" को हटाओ
फिर "इच्छा" को हटा दें कि "इच्छा"
"अब" आप के साथ ही रह गए हैं
"खुशी "
सीख : ज्यादा सोचना सबसे बड़ा
दु:ख का कारण।
