WHO WAS THE BUDDHA
THE COUNTRY WHERE THE BUDDHA GREW UP
To find out who the Buddha was, you need to go back to the beginning. The Buddha lived in India more than two thousand five hundred years ago. His teachings are known as Dharma. Even as a boy, Siddhartha, the Buddha-to-be, liked to meditate. This is how he became enlightened. His teachings help people to live wisely and happily.
The hero of our story is Prince Siddhartha, the Buddha-to-be, who lived more than 2500 years ago. His father was the Rajah of the Sakya clan, King Suddhodana, and his mother was Queen Maha Maya. They live in India, in a city called Kapilavatthu, in the foothills of the Himalayas. They belonged to the Indian warrior caste.
