Meditating under a Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. His compassionate legacy continues to inspire millions worldwide.
The Buddha's teachings, although ancient, still deeply impact lives today. His emphasis on mindfulness and meditation helps people cultivate inner peace and manage stress. The Four Noble Truths offer a framework to understand and address suffering, while the Eightfold Path provides a practical guide to ethical and fulfilling living.
