The term "Buddha" means "Enlightened One," and signifies that the person to whom it is applied has solved the riddle of existence, and discovered the doctrine for the cessation of misery. It was by his attainment of this supreme "Enlightenment" or Wisdom that Gotama became a Buddha. During the thirty-five years of his life previous to that event, and during all previous existences from the time he set out Lowards the Buddhaship, he was a Bodhisatta, a term which I have freely translated "Future Buddha," but which is more literally rendered "He whose essence is Wisdom."
The Buddha's given name would appear to have been Siddhattha; but as the word means "Successful in his Objects," it looks as though it might be a simple epithet. The Buddha belonged to the Sakya clan.
