Siddhartha Gautama was the founder of Buddhism. He was a pampered prince and then at a young age he went out into the world and saw suffering. He thought for a while about what suffering was and how to fix it. He came up with Buddhism and the middle path to end suffering. Buddhism came about in the sixth century B.C. A quote from Siddhartha is "would that sickness, age, and death might be forever bound." The root word for Buddhism is Bodi.
