Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha, was an Indian philosopher, spiritual master and founder of Buddhism. Preaching about his spiritual achievements, he attracted a large number of devotees in northeastern India. The goal of the Buddha's teaching is to liberate the mind by abandoning hatred, thirst and ignorance and attaining nirvana, the state of greatest happiness and ending suffering.

Explanation:

He was born and raised in a noble family, and his sage predicted that he would be a great ruler to conquer the world, but if he left the court he would become a Buddha, savior of the world.
To make sure Siddhartha would not leave the castle, his father often showered him with care and gifts. He lived in luxury and for a long time did not know pain, old age, illness and suffering.
The turning point occurred when he was 29 and when he saw the old, sick and dead while walking with subjects, and began to rethink the concept of suffering. He also met a hermit, and became interested in his understanding of life. He decided to leave the court to experience enlightenment.
