Buddha
Everyone has heard of the term enlightenment, it is often taught in school during history, philosophy, and theology classes. We know of one person who has truly reached personal enlightenment: The Buddha. While he isn't considered a deity, rather an idealistic figure, he has many who believe him to be transcended above other humans. Buddha wasn't always enlightened. Prior to his change, he was a man by the name of Siddhartha Gautama. Siddhartha spent many years trying to reach enlightenment, but prior to that he was a wealthy child. He was born into royalty in Nepal. Siddhartha started his journey since he was moved by the suffering of people around the world. He attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
