    Buddhism originated with Siddhartha Gautama, who achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. He taught the four noble truths and eightfold path to help beings overcome suffering. Buddhism spread across India and was strongly supported by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. It later divided into the Theravada and Mahayana traditions. Key Buddhist texts include the Tripitaka and works like the Dhammapada. Buddhism further diversified into Vajrayana and reached its peak influence in India before declining with the rise of Hinduism and Islamic influences.
