Summary: Siddhartha Gotama, "The great wayshower," lived in the sixth century BCE in the Hindu culture of an area near modern Nepal. After six years as a Hindu ascetic, Siddhartha renounced asceticism after discovering that clear-mindfulness, not the pain of ascetic practice, is the key to spiritual understanding. He sought a new kind of awareness characterized by mastery over all emotions - a sharp, clear awareness that is unswayed by self-interest. The term "Buddha" came to refer to one who has relinquished all clinging to concerns related to space and time, thus transcending individualized existence.
