The founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni (Buddha), was a member of the Shakyamuni people of the ancient Indian state of Kapilawa. He existed in the middle of the first millennium BC. At this time, the prosperity of commodity trade promoted the rise of the Chadian class, weakened the authority of traditional Brahmanism, which posed obstacles, and the ideological community was active in the Shaman movement, including Buddhism. The life of Shakyamuni did not attract the attention of early Tripitaka editors, who only recorded the words of their mentors in detail as much as possible; More detailed narratives and more legendary stories were carefully fabricated later on. The relatively reliable image of Buddha is a basic outline. He grew up in a wealthy environment, married and had children, and became a monk around the age of 29; The meditation and asceticism learned cannot solve the problem; At around the age of 35, he gained the consciousness of the Buddha. In the remaining years of his life, his footprints spread throughout the Ganges River basin, preaching and educating to all classes. His abandonment of the ideas of the outside world corrected certain deviations in the civilization of the times, and also safeguarded the class interests of the Shakyamuni people, making him revered as the sage of the Shakyamuni people. The fundamental principle of Buddha is based on the origin of impermanence and selflessness. For example, before converting to Buddha, one only needs to tell him: "As the Buddha said, all phenomena are the birth and death of cause and effect.".
