Who is Buddha ?

Menu The historical Buddha was born in approximately 570 B.C. in Northern India. As a young man he spent six years searching and meditating. He then recognized the true nature of mind, thus becoming Buddha - the "awakened one." His teaching which makes beings fearless, joyful and kind are the main religion of several East Asian countries.

Since the early seventies, its profound view and vast number of methods have inspired and fascinated a growing number of people in Western cultures. Buddha is seen as a timeless mirror of mind's inherent potential.
