Gautam buddha

Birth place of Gautam Buddha is  lumbini which is located at nepal . Siddhartha Gautama was born about 563 BC in what is now modern Nepal.   His father, Suddhodana, was the ruler of the Sakya people and Siddhartha grew upliving the extravagant life on a young prince.   According to custom, he married at the young age of sixteen to a girl named Yasodhara.   His father had ordered
that he live a life of total seclusion, but one day Siddhartha ventured out into
the world and was confronted with the reality of the inevitable suffering of
life.   The next day, at the age of twenty-nine, he left his kingdom and new-born
son to lead an modest life and determine a way to relieve universal suffering.
For six years, Siddhartha meditated under a bodhi tree.   But he was never fully
satisfied.   One day he was offered a bowl of rice from a young girl and he
accepted it.   In that moment, he realized that physical hardships were not the
means to freedom.   From then on, he encouraged people not to use extremes in
their life.   He called this The Middle Way.   That night Siddhartha sat under
the bodhi tree, and meditated till dawn.   He cleared his mind of all worldly
things and claimed to get enlightenment at the age of thirty-five, thus earning
the title Buddha, or "Enlightened One."   For the remainder of his eighty years,
the Buddha preached the dharma in an effort to help other people reach
enlightenment. When Siddhartha is a Brahmin, he believes in the existence of
many gods, and performs sacrifices to them.   After a while he realizes this is
meaningless and decides to leave his family and community and become a Samana.
As a Samana, he tries to destroy himself in may ways.   He feels if he kills
himself, with its passions and emotions, he will find the great secret.
Siddhartha doesn't spend much time as Buddha, although he has an important
revelation.   He discovers he can't find peace by learning from a master.   He
finds the only way to have peace with the world is by finding it for himself.  
  he is the ornament of our pride Nepal .  Today  sidhhartha buddha's education flowing all over the world...
