The word ‘Buddha’ is a title, which means ‘one who is awake’ — in the sense of having ‘woken up to reality’. Buddha was born as Siddhartha Gautama in Nepal around 2,500 years ago. He did not claim to be a god or a prophet. He was a human being who became "Enlightened," understanding life in the deepest way possible. There are currently in excess of 400 million followers of the teachings of Buddha.
