Buddhism began when Siddhartha Gautama experienced a spiritual awakening over 2,500 years ago in India, and became an "awakened one," or Buddha. Over the course of two episodes, I tell the story of the Buddha's life from birth to death, while carefully explaining the sources of information we have about his life - because that's an important part of the history, too!
