Rise of Buddhism: Life of Buddha and the spread of Buddhism.

"Today, let’s journey back over 2,500 years to the rise of Buddhism in ancient India. Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince who left his royal life in search of enlightenment. After years of meditation and asceticism, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became known as the Buddha, or 'The Enlightened One'. Buddha’s teachings, known as the Dharma, focus on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, guiding individuals to overcome suffering and achieve Nirvana. Buddhism quickly spread across Asia, thanks to the efforts of monks and the support of powerful rulers like Emperor Ashoka, who embraced Buddhism and sent missionaries to spread its message of peace and compassion. Today, Buddhism remains a major world religion, inspiring millions with its teachings on mindfulness, compassion, and inner peace. Follow for more insights into India's rich history!"
