Very interesting to read even in the Chinese, Chung Tian Temple webpage stating about Siddhartha Gautam Buddha in this way, SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA He is the founder of Buddhism. After 500 previous incarnations, Sakyamuni finally attained to the state of Bodhisattva, was born the son of Suddhodana, of the Ksatriya caste, ruler of Kapilavastu. In search for truth, he left home, severely disciplining himself and became an ascetic. Finally at age of 35, under a tree, he realized that the way of release from the chain of rebirth and death lay not in asceticism but in moral purity through wisdom and compassion - the “middle way.” He founded his community on the basis of poverty, chastity, and insight or meditation, and it became known as Buddhism. chungtian.org.au/english/terminology02#amitabha
