Siddhartha Gautama, known as The Buddha, is the founder of Buddhism. Born a wealthy prince in the fifth century B.C., the future Buddha was shielded by his father from the misery outside their palace. When he found out what life was really like for most people, he left to find answers and eventually came up with the Buddhist religion/philosophy. After traveling the land teaching his insights for 45 years, he died at about 80 years of age.
