Sidddharta Gautama
Sidddharta Gautama, a Indian prince founded Buddhism around 2,500. He was upset, so he left his rich full life style to try and find an answer. At first Gautama starved himself, he realized that depriving yourself of what you need was also not helping, so he took "The Middle Path" to become enlightened, therefore he dressed in plain simple clothes and only ate what was nessisary to keep himself healthy. After a while of *meditation med-i- tey -sh //uh// n] he obtained enlightenment and became the Buddha.  

//**meditation –noun**// **1.** the act of meditating. **2.** continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation. **3. devout religious contemplation or spiritual introspection. **
