The origins of Buddha Purnima can be traced back to ancient India, where Siddhartha Gautama was born as a prince in Lumbini (present-day Nepal) around the 5th century BCE. After renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path laid the foundation for Buddhism, emphasizing the cessation of suffering and the path to spiritual liberation. Buddha Purnima thus serves as a reminder of these profound teachings and the transformative journey of the Buddha.
