Siddhartha Gautam, who was born as a prince, became worried when he saw the suffering of the people. At the age of 29, He left the palace for penance.
On the full moon day of Baisakh Shukla in 528 BC, he attained enlightenment under the Peepal tree (Bodhi tree) at Buddhagaya. After attaining enlightenment, he is called Gautam Buddha, Buddha Bhagavan, etc. The eight ways to quench the thirst to destroy misery is the knowledge that the Buddha has received.
