Buddha

Buddhism was formed by a man named Siddhartha Gautama in India around the 6th B.C.E. Gautama was born in Nepal and was the son of a king. His father believed that he would become something great like a monarch. His father would not allow him to leave their home, so Gautama escaped and became a homeless wanderer. He went in search of peace, then one day he came upon the Tree of Enlightenment, under which he stayed and lived under for 49 days. According to legend he was tempted by demons but still he sat quietly.

That spot became known as the Immovable Spot.

Gautama came to understand suffering while he was meditating and explained it in the Four Noble Truths, which is the foundation of Buddhism. The Eightfold Path is also a foundation for the religion and it discusses ways to end suffering and become a better person. Gautama devoted his life to sharing his teachings with others. Gautama at first taught what he had learned to five followers, but soon founded an order of monks. He taught his beliefs for 45 years until his death at the age of 80. Buddhism is a religion that tries to share the Buddha's experience of awakening.
What does the word Buddhism and Buddha mean?
The word Buddhism comes from the word 'budhi' which means 'to wake up'. Monks say that Buddhism is the philosophy of awakening. The word Buddha means enlightened one.
Goals of Buddhism:

Enlightenment, purity, and proper thoughts and viewpoints.

When practicing Buddhism you can focus on any of the above three, it is thought that when you achieve any one of them, the other two will come naturally.

Because Buddha is a significant and revered deity, his image should be regarded, treated, and handled with reverence and respect.  There are many statues of Buddha and to activate your prosperity, be sure to choose the right one!
