The word ‘Buddha’ means the enlightened one or the awakened one.

Siddhartha the Buddha, was troubled by thoughts that we all have. He wondered about birth and death. He wondered why anyone can get sick and why a person dies. He also wondered why wishes do not come true. And also wondered about happiness and the beauty in nature.

The Buddha is said to have set the "wheel of dharma" in motion when he delivered his first sermon about the Four Noble Truths. These truths are the truth of suffering, the truth of how you can end suffering, the cause of your suffering and the path of truth which leads you to end suffering, something which is covered in the Dhamapada book.
