A Prince Is Born
Siddhartha Gautama was born around 563 BCE (some modern scholars argue as late as 480 BCE) in Lumbini, in present-day Nepal, into the Shakya clan — the source of his later title Shakyamuni, "Sage of the Shakyas." His mother, Maya, died shortly after his birth. A prophecy said he would become either a great king or a great spiritual teacher.
