Buddha Quotes...

Siddhartha Gautama or Gautama Buddha was born about 2,600 years ago in Lumbini near the border of Nepal and India. He was born a prince, but as he grew up, he inclined towards spirituality. In search of spirituality, he went into deep meditation, where he realized the nature of mind. He was titled with Buddha.
