In a famous incident, after becoming starved and weakened, he is said to have accepted milk and from a village girl named Sujata. Such was his emaciated appearance that she wrongly believed him to be a spirit that had granted her a wish. Following this incident, Gautama was famously seated under a tree—now known as the —in,, when he vowed never to arise until he had found. And four other companions, believing that he had abandoned his search and become undisciplined, ceased to stay with him, and went to somewhere else.

According to some sutras of the Pali canon, at the time of his awakening he realized complete into the, thereby attaining from, the endless cycle of rebirth, suffering and dying again.
According to scholars, this story of the awakening and the stress on 'liberating insight' is a later development in the Buddhist tradition, where the Buddha may have regarded the practice of as leading to and moksha. Nirvana is the extinguishing of the 'fires' of desire, hatred, and ignorance, that keep the cycle of suffering and rebirth going.
Nirvana is also regarded as the 'end of the world', in that no personal identity or boundaries of the mind remain. [ ] In such a state, a being is said to possess the, belonging to every Buddha.

He then travelled to the near (Benares) in northern India, where he set in motion what Buddhists call the by delivering his first sermon to the five companions with whom he had sought enlightenment. Together with him, they formed the first: the company of Buddhist monks. All five become, and within the first two months, with the conversion of and fifty-four of his friends, the number of such arahants is said to have grown to 60.

Although the Buddha's language remains unknown, it's likely that he taught in one or more of a variety of closely related Middle Indo-Aryan dialects, of which may be a standardization.
The sangha traveled through the subcontinent, expounding the dharma. This continued throughout the year, except during the four months of the rainy season when ascetics of all religions rarely traveled. One reason was that it was more difficult to do so without causing harm to animal life.
At this time of year, the sangha would retreat to monasteries, public parks or forests, where people would come to them.

The tenth delegation, led by Kaludayi, a childhood friend of Gautama's (who also became an arahant), however, delivered the message. Now two years after his awakening, the Buddha agreed to return, and made a two-month journey by foot to Kapilavastu, teaching the dharma as he went. At his return, the royal palace prepared a midday meal, but the sangha was making an alms round in Kapilavastu. Hearing this, Suddhodana approached his son, the Buddha, saying: 'Ours is the warrior lineage of Mahamassata, and not a single warrior has gone seeking alms.' The Buddha is said to have replied: 'That is not the custom of your royal lineage.

The last days of buddha teachings The king's death and cremation was to inspire the creation of an order of nuns. Buddhist texts record that the Buddha was reluctant to ordain women. His foster mother, for example, approached him, asking to join the sangha, but he refused. Maha Pajapati, however, was so intent on the path of awakening that she led a group of royal Sakyan and Koliyan ladies, which followed the sangha on a long journey to Rajagaha. In time, after Ananda championed their cause, the Buddha is said to have reconsidered and, five years after the formation of the sangha, agreed to the ordination of women as nuns.

According to the Mahaparinibbana Sutta of the Pali canon, at the age of 80, the Buddha announced that he would soon reach, or the final deathless state, and abandon his earthly body.

Mettanando and argue that the Buddha died of, a symptom of old age, rather than food poisoning. The precise contents of the Buddha's final meal are not clear, due to variant scriptural traditions and ambiguity over the translation of certain significant terms; the tradition generally believes that the Buddha was offered some kind of pork, while the tradition believes that the Buddha consumed some sort of truffle or other mushroom.

Suggests that Theravadins would take suukaramaddava (the contents of the Buddha's last meal), which can translate literally as pig-soft, to mean 'soft flesh of a pig' or 'pig's soft-food', that is, after, a soft food favoured by pigs, assumed to be a. He argues (also after Neumann) that as '(p)lant names tend to be local and dialectical', as there are several plants known to have suukara- (pig) as part of their names, and as Pali Buddhism developed in an area remote from the Buddha's death, suukaramaddava could easily have been a type of plant whose local name was unknown to those in Pali regions.
Specifically, local writers writing soon after the Buddha's death knew more about their flora than Theravadin commentator who lived hundreds of years and hundreds of kilometres remote in time and space from the events described. Unaware that it may have been a local plant name and with no Theravadin prohibition against eating animal flesh, Theravadins would not have questioned the Buddha eating meat and interpreted the term accordingly.
Depiction of the Buddha from,; Victoria and Albert Museum,. An extensive and colorful physical description of the Buddha has been laid down in scriptures. A by birth, he had military training in his upbringing, and by Shakyan tradition was required to pass tests to demonstrate his worthiness as a warrior in order to marry. [ ] He had a strong enough body to be noticed by one of the kings and was asked to join his army as a general. [ ] He is also believed by Buddhists to have 'the 32 Signs of the Great Man'. The Brahmin Sonadanda described him as 'handsome, good-looking, and pleasing to the eye, with a most beautiful complexion. He has a godlike form and countenance, he is by no means unattractive.'
(D, I:115) 'It is wonderful, truly marvellous, how serene is the good Gotama's appearance, how clear and radiant his complexion, just as the golden jujube in autumn is clear and radiant, just as a palm-tree fruit just loosened from the stalk is clear and radiant, just as an adornment of red gold wrought in a crucible by a skilled goldsmith, deftly beaten and laid on a yellow-cloth shines, blazes and glitters, even so, the good Gotama's senses are calmed, his complexion is clear and radiant.' (A, I:181) A disciple named Vakkali, who later became an arahant, was so obsessed by the Buddha's physical presence that the Buddha is said to have felt impelled to tell him to desist, and to have reminded him that he should know the Buddha through the Dhamma and not through physical appearances. Although there are no extant representations of the Buddha in human form until around the 1st century CE (see ), descriptions of the physical characteristics of fully enlightened buddhas are attributed to the Buddha in the 's Lakkhaṇa Sutta (D, I:142).

(October 2017) () Information of the oldest teachings may be obtained by analysis of the oldest texts. One method to obtain information on the oldest core of Buddhism is to compare the oldest extant versions of the Theravadin and other texts. The reliability of these sources, and the possibility of drawing out a core of oldest teachings, is a matter of dispute. According to Vetter, inconsistencies remain, and other methods must be applied to resolve those inconsistencies.
According to Schmithausen, three positions held by scholars of Buddhism can be distinguished: • 'Stress on the fundamental homogeneity and substantial authenticity of at least a considerable part of the Nikayic materials;', from the oldest extant texts a common kernel can be drawn out. According to Warder, c.q. His publisher: 'This kernel of doctrine is presumably common Buddhism of the period before the great schisms of the fourth and third centuries BC. It may be substantially the Buddhism of the Buddha himself, although this cannot be proved: at any rate it is a Buddhism presupposed by the schools as existing about a hundred years after the parinirvana of the Buddha, and there is no evidence to suggest that it was formulated by anyone else than the Buddha and his immediate followers'. Richard Gombrich: 'I have the greatest difficulty in accepting that the main edifice is not the work of a single genius. By 'the main edifice' I mean the collections of the main body of sermons, the four Nikāyas, and of the main body of monastic rules.' • 'Scepticism with regard to the possibility of retrieving the doctrine of earliest Buddhism;' • 'Cautious optimism in this respect.'
Dhyana and insight. Main article: According to Tilmann Vetter, the core of earliest Buddhism is the practice of, as a workable alternative to painful ascetic practices.
Bronkhorst agrees that Dhyāna was a Buddhist invention, [ ] whereas Norman notes that 'the Buddha's way to release [.] was by means of meditative practices.' Discriminating insight into transiency as a separate path to liberation was a later development. According to the Mahāsaccakasutta, from the fourth the Buddha gained. Yet, it is not clear what he was awakened to. [ ] According to Schmithausen and Bronkhorst, 'liberating insight' is a later addition to this text, and reflects a later development and understanding in early Buddhism. [ ] The mentioning of the four truths as constituting 'liberating insight' introduces a logical problem, since the four truths depict a linear path of practice, the knowledge of which is in itself not depicted as being liberating: [T]hey do not teach that one is released by knowing the four noble truths, but by practicing the fourth noble truth, the eightfold path, which culminates in right samadhi. Although (Sanskrit: Nirvāna) is the common term for the desired goal of this practice, many other terms can be found throughout the Nikayas, which are not specified.
According to Vetter, the description of the Buddhist path may initially have been as simple as the term 'the middle way'. In time, this short description was elaborated, resulting in the description of the eightfold path. According to both Bronkhorst and Anderson, the became a substitution for prajna, or 'liberating insight', in the suttas [ ] in those texts where 'liberating insight' was preceded by the four jhanas.
According to Bronkhorst, the four truths may not have been formulated in earliest Buddhism, and did not serve in earliest Buddhism as a description of 'liberating insight'. Gotama's teachings may have been personal, 'adjusted to the need of each person.' The may reflect Upanishadic or other influences. Norman supposes that these terms were already in use at the Buddha's time, and were familiar to his listeners.
The was in origin probably a brahmanic term; but its usage may have been common to the Sramana traditions. Later developments In time, 'liberating insight' became an essential feature of the Buddhist tradition. Main article: Some regard Gautama as the 9th of.
