    Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as the Buddha, was born around 563 BCE in South Asia and founded Buddhism after rejecting the Hindu caste system. Buddhism teaches that life involves suffering which stems from desire, and the path to end suffering is by following the Eightfold Path of right understanding, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration as taught by the Buddha. The goal is to achieve Nirvana, a state of eternal peace and happiness free from suffering and the cycle of rebirth.
