According to Buddhist legends, he was born in Lumbini, in what is now Nepal, to royal parents of the Shakya clan, but renounced his home life to live as a wandering ascetic. After leading a life of mendicancy, asceticism, and meditation, he attained nirvana at Bodh Gaya in what is now Bihar, India. The Buddha then wandered through the lower Indo-Gangetic Plain, teaching and building a monastic order (sangha). Buddhist tradition holds he died in Kushinagar and reached parinirvana.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Lumbini","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9213","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/lumbini"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9441#P19"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Kushinagar","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q825673"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9441#P20"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"Buddhist monk","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q854997"},{"text":"philosopher","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4964182"},{"text":"founder of religion","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2142783"},{"text":"religious leader","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15995642"},{"text":"writer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36180"},{"text":"social reformer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16611574"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9441#P106"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Yaśodharā","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q466572"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9441#P26"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buddha","https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%AE_%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A7","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9441"],"faq":[],"related":[],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/the-buddha-3e9dc6b9cd.jpg","width":500,"height":640,"license":"CC BY-SA 3.0","credit":"พระมหาเทวประภาส วชิรญาณเมธี (ผู้ถ่าย-ปล่อยสัญญาอนุญาตภาพให้นำไปใช้ได้เพื่อการศึกษาโดยอยู่ภา่ยใต้ cc-by-sa-3.0) ผู้สร้างสรรค์ผลงาน/ส่งข้อมูลเก็บในคลังข้อมูลเสรีวิกิมีเดียคอมมอนส์ - เทวประภาส มากคล้าย","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buddha_in_Sarnath_Museum_(Dhammajak_Mutra).jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): The Buddha","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buddha","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikipedia (Nepali): गौतम बुद्ध","url":"https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%AE_%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A7","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q9441","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9441","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Buddha in Sarnath Museum (Dhammajak Mutra).jpg by พระมหาเทวประภาส วชิรญาณเมธี (ผู้ถ่าย-ปล่อยสัญญาอนุญาตภาพให้นำไปใช้ได้เพื่อการศึกษาโดยอยู่ภา่ยใต้ cc-by-sa-3.0) ผู้สร้างสรรค์ผลงาน/ส่งข้อมูลเก็บในคลังข้อมูลเสรีวิกิมีเดียคอมมอนส์ - เทวประภาส มากคล้าย (CC BY-SA 3.0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buddha_in_Sarnath_Museum_(Dhammajak_Mutra).jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article The Buddha, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
