The Sanskrit word ‘Buddha’ means ‘to have become awoken,’ in the sense of achieving supreme consciousness.’ It’s related to the term ‘Bodhi,’ which means ‘consciousness.’ Gautama’s tranquil and beautiful visage encapsulates a state of compassionate knowledge an awakened illuminated mind.

This contrasts sharply with many Western notions of outward pride, muscular vigor, and displays of material affluence. Gautama Shakyamuni was born in Lumbini, Nepal, around 563 BCE. He focused on the cardinal Rule of Desire and its connection to hatred. This Principle existed before his time and is a common concept in Hinduism, Jainism, and other faiths. Desire is defined as a strong desire for something.
