Gautama Buddha was born in 563 BC. at Kapilavastu, on the border of Nepal. The Buddha, then known as Siddhartha, was the son of the King of the Sakyas, Suddhodana and Queen Maya. Siddhartha lived in the protected splendor of the palace and at age sixteen was married to Princess Yasodhara (who later became his disciple and was known as the Lady of the Lotus). They had a son named Rahula.
After seeing a deteriorating old man, an invalid, and an ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism. Soon afterwards, at age 29, Siddhartha left the palace and his family and went to a hermitage where he became the monk, Gautama, or, as he is still called, Sakyamuni (The Sage of the Sakyas). One day, meditating under a sacred fig tree, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi), becoming a Buddha. After that he traveled forty-five years, teaching Buddhism, which was to become a major world religion. He died at Kusinagara at age 80.
