Gautama Buddha (Shakyamuni)

Object description

Buddha, även kallad Shakyamuni, Shakyamuni Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama (pali: Siddhattha Gotama) eller Gautama Buddha, är grundaren av buddhismen. Han sägs enligt traditionen ha levt i 80 år, men årtalet för hans död är omtvistat. Buddhisterna i Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar och Kambodja placerar hans död vid år 543 f.Kr., medan indiska och västerländska historiker generellt placerar hans död antingen vid år 486 f.Kr. eller 368 f.Kr, men andra närliggande årtal har även föreslagits.

Den buddha som föregick Shakyamuni hette Kasyapa Buddha, och buddhan som förväntas efterträda Shakyamuni heter Maitreya Buddha.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
