Buddha is a Sanskrit word which means "The Enlightened one," or 'the awakened one.” The word "Buddha," is often referred to the historical Buddha named Buddha Shakyamuni, or Siddhartha Gautama. Buddhists do not believe that a Buddha is a god, but that he is a human being who has woken up and can see the true way the world works. They believe this knowledge totally changes the person. Some say this puts them beyond birth, death, and rebirth, while others think this represents the final extinction of desire.
