Gautama Buddha
Siddhārtha Gautama (SanskritPali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from the Indian subcontinent and the founder of Buddhism. He is generally recognized by Buddhists as the supreme Buddha (Sammāsambuddha) of our age. The time of his birth and death are uncertain: a majority of 20th-century historians date his lifetime from around 563 BC to 483 BC, but some more recent scholars have suggested dates around 410 or 400 BCE for his death. Some suggest even later dates. These alternative chronologies, however, have not yet been accepted by all other historians.
