Shakya is the name of the royal family into which he was born, and Muni means Able One. Buddha Skakyamuni was born as a royal prince in 624 BC in a place called Lumbini in northern India to Queen Mayadevi and King Shuddhodana. As a young prince, he mastered all the traditional arts and sciences without needing any instruction. He knew sixty four different languages, each with their own alphabet, and he was also very skilled at mathematics. On his fathers request, he joined a school where, in addition to various academic subjects, he became skilled at sports such as martial arts and archery. Sometimes he would go into the city of his fathers kingdom to see how the people lived. During these visits, he met many old people and sick people, and on one occasion, he saw a corpse. These encounters left a deep impression on his mind and led him to realize that all living beings without exception have to experience the sufferings of birth, sickness, ageing and death. He realized that they experience these sufferings not just once, but repeatedly, in life after life without cessation.
