Answer
The founder of Buddhism, also known as "the Buddha," was Gautama who lived in ancient India around the 5th to 4th century BCE. After his death, some believed he was a god while others believed many people could become Buddhas. These potential Buddhas, called bodhisattvas, would work towards the salvation of humankind through works of charity and self-sacrifice. By the 1st century AD, Buddhists had divided into two sects due to new doctrines: Theravada and Mahayana. Theravada was more traditional while Mahayana was more modern.
