Excerpt
Excerpt: The name, Buddha means The Enlightened One or The Awakened One Who Awakens the Sense of Truth in His Fellow Man. Buddhism is conceived of as the possession of perfect wisdom and supernatural powers. According to Buddhist doctrine, there is a line of Buddhas who appear in the course of human history from the time of remote antiquity to the distant future. The man who, in world history, is known as Buddha, was originally named Siddhartha (he who has accomplished his aim) or Sakyamuni (sage of the Sakya tribe). He belonged to the Gautama family, a warrior caste that ruled over the Sakya tribe. According to some scholars, the earliest reports of his life were written some two hundred to four hundred years after his death. But all these reports undoubtedly are rephrasing of verbal traditions based upon his life which appear in the detailed summaries of his original doctrines. With the exception of a few radical skeptics, most scholars agree that he married his cousin, Yasodhara, at the age of nineteen, and that a son, Rahula, was born of this union. There is no agreement as to the character of his activities.
