Great question! Buddhism began with an Indian prince named Siddhartha Gautama. His father wanted to shield him from all suffering, and so Siddhartha was locked up in his castle. One day, Siddhartha wanted to see his kingdom, so he took a walk and saw poverty, sickness, death,etc. and he wanted to end it. So, he went on a meditation retreat, where he discovered all of the main concepts of Buddhism and became enlightened and became Buddha.
buddhism emerged as a way for siddharta guatama to attempt to fill the void he saw inherent in Hinduism of not offering a way out of the endless karmic cycle of rebirth. he also did not find the answer but suggested it might be possible to get to nirvana through good works. he was a prince that saw poverty in Nepal and decided to give up his worldly possessions and dedicate the rest of his life to a search for spiritual truth. the origin name of buddhism comes from the bodhi tree under which he is believed to have sat and attained enlightenment
