Abstract
Buddha Sakayamuni Buddha Sakayamuni is the Buddha of the current era. He was neither god nor prophet. He was born around 500 BC as the son of a small princely family on the southern borders of what is now called Nepal. He was born as a human being but achieved enlightenment aged 35 and then became Buddha. After that time, for the next 45 years, Buddha's life consisted of preaching around the area of the mid-Ganges. He had many followers. Since that time Buddhism has become established in the world. Buddha means the enlightened one, but also has another meaning: the great lord of healing. This means that Buddha's teaching centres on how to deal with human suffering and how to take care of human sorrow so, in effect, he worked in the same way as a doctor. This is the reason why I wanted to be a doctor. I can take care of my patients, not just their physical illness but also their mind and spirit.
