The founder of Buddhism was Siddhartha Gautama,born near present day Nepal, India. The term Buddha, is not a personal name but a term of praise. A Buddha is a man that first enlightens himself and then enlightens others. Gautama was not the first nor was he the last Buddha, but "Buddhism" springs from his teachings and life examples.(ie. the middle way, The Eightfold Path and the Four Holy Truths.)the goal being the extinction of self, Nirvana.

hey..very nice answer... Are you buddhist? Do you know anything about meditation? Cause I thought I can help you out with meditation if you are interested since u seem to know and have interest in buddhism.

Not so much an "extinction of self" as it is a melding into the one Universal Mind. Self still exists as the indivdualization of the One Universal Mind.
