He is the Buddha Sakyamuni North Indians, is now Nepal, in India's northern, southern Tibet. According to Chinese historical records, he was born 26 years Jiayin Wang Zhou Zhao, with modern textual criticism is not the same as foreigners, many age difference. Buddha out in the weeks into the 1964 King Mu Ren Shen, 79-year-old Shi-Ting, we usually talk about 80-year-old Buddha Fozhu Shi, the actual age is 79-year-old, because we speak the Chinese nominal age, and the nominal age 80-year-old, chronological age is 79-year-old's death. If the records into the Sakyamuni Buddha out of this year should be 3015 years. 1500 years BC, when the Aryan people from India to the Ganges River Basin development, the main mode of production from livestock production to agricultural production. Due to favorable weather conditions, and the people learned to cultivation of higher rice production, combined with the use of iron productivity has been greatly improved. Slavery come into the fabric of society. At that time, the social crowd is divided into four grades:
① Brahmin (priests of religion, have the right to master the spirit and the right to education, religious and classical culture),
② Kshatriya (warrior class, was also the king and the nobility of the military, military and equip them with Executive power.),
③ Vaishyas (farmers, craftsmen, was also differentiated from the industrial and commercial property owners, loan-sharking business.),
④ Sudras (non-Aryan tribes indigenous civilians, the low status). There is also no social status of slaves, without caste, known as "untouchables", "not to touch" (untouchable). India was the main religion in society is Brahmanism, Brahmanism is a kind of polytheism, the worship of ancestors and gods of natural Wizard, believe in God, Raytheon, the god of justice, on God, Vulcan, Aeolus, the god of rain and other gods. Brahmanism is the maintenance of the slave society at the time of a religion. To promote its earnings reincarnation of the view that human behavior in this life (industry) of good and evil, reincarnation in the next life will bring a different karma; If you do not believe that the Vedic Brahmanism classic, or a violation of the provisions of caste, or there are acts of killing, and so on, will be the death of reincarnation for lower caste Dalits, or for livestock, and if the Vedic classical learning, asceticism, charity, to death for the upper caste reincarnation, and become a god, and Tai Fan-in-one. Brahmanism promote the supremacy of Brahmin caste, Brahma said that I made with Brahman, Chhetri made by hand, by making Vaishyas legs, feet made Sudras, and provides for their professional community, not be changed forever. Brahmanism stressed that offer worship to God for an annual religious ceremony to be held on many occasions, including Ma Festival, ancestors of the festival, the festival gods, the Vatican ceremony, all kinds of sacrifice Wizard Festival. When to sacrifice a large number of livestock slaughter, a large number of followers cost of property, land and even sacrifice to the gods - the real Brahman.

A fellow in ancient India/Nepal named Siddhartha Gautama, who became enlightened around 450 BC, is the person we know as 'Buddha', which is a sanscrit word meaning 'miraculously self-aware', or sometimes 'enlightened one'.

Since then, his teaching has declined and fragmented into many factions, now resembling an orthodox religion more than its original non-theistic philosophy.

But of course due to the infinite nature of the universe and mind, Buddha is already, has been, and will always be here now.
