Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Buddha was born Prince Siddhartha in Lumbini, near Kapilavastu. He wandered for several years, meeting and debating with other thinkers. He eventually decided to devise his path to enlightenment and spent days meditating under a peepal tree in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, where he attained enlightenment. According to the Buddha, life is full of suffering and unhappiness due to our cravings and desires (frequently unfulfilled). Even when we get what we want, we are not always satisfied and want more (or something else). The Buddha referred to this as tanha or thirst. He taught that this constant craving could be eliminated by practising moderation in all aspects of life.
Hence, the correct answer is Buddha taught that life is full of suffering and unhappiness.
