The man was named Siddhartha Gautama, but he is much better known as the Buddha, which means \one of the world's great religions－Buddhism. Siddhartha Gautama was born about 563 B. C. His father ruled a small state in northern India. Strangely enough, the man who discovered the cause of unhappiness knew little about it when he was young. His father tried to protect him from all knowledge of sickness, pain, suffering, and death.
In spite of all his father did, Siddhartha did eventually learn of unhappiness. He could never be content when he understood the truth. One night he left his father and his wife and child and gave up his great personal fortune. At first Siddhartha tried to learn wisdom from some holy men.

He sat there for 49 days, and then the truth came to him. Siddhartha, the seeker for wisdom, 'had become the Buddha-the wise one.
