Top 10 Best Buddha Quotes

Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual leader and founder of Buddhism who lived in ancient India between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is considered the Supreme Buddha in Buddhism and is revered as one of the most important figures in world history. As a young prince, Siddhartha was sheltered from the outside world and led a luxurious life. However, after encountering the suffering of the common people, he renounced his privileged status and embarked on a spiritual quest. After many years of meditation and study, he attained enlightenment, or Nirvana, and became known as the Buddha, which means “the awakened one.” He then spent the rest of his life teaching others the path to enlightenment.
