Buddha By Marianne McCloskey Buddha was a spiritual teacher who founded the religion known today as “Buddhism”. His exact birth date is unknown, though his birth date is usually told as being somewhere between 563- 411 B.C. Buddha is thought to have born in Lumbini, which is in modern-day Nepal and raised in the small kingdom of Kapilavastu. According to traditional biographies, Buddha’s father was King Suddhodana. Buddha is most often described as a god, though he is also described a god-like, the avatar for a god, or the reincarnation of a man named “Lao Tzu”. Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, 2001.
