Whenever I hear some above some violence, whenever I hear about the peace and negotiation I always remember the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
Budhha, Siddhartha Buddha, Gautama Buddha, Shakyamuni are all different names of his. Buddha has always taught about piece and way of living the life without violence.
Gautama Buddha was born in 565 B.C. in Kapitvastu, the modern Lumbini of Nepal. Mayadevi and Suddhodhan are the parents of Buddha and is king of Shakya Clan. Since Buddha was the prince of Shakya Clan he was even known as Shakyamuni. Gautama Buddha was known to be died by 483 B.C.
During the birth celebration of the prince Siddhartha, the hermit seer Asita announced that the Siddhartha would either become chakravarti (the great king) or either the great holy man after examining the birthmarks. In the fifth day of his birth, naming ceremony was held and eight Brahmins were called to read about his future. Almost all of them said that either he will be a great king or the great hermit except the youngest Brahmin Kaundinya who predicted with confidence that he will be a great holy man, Buddha.
His father Suddhodhan wants his only son prince Buddha to be a great ruler so he destined to a luxurious life as a prince and shielded him from religious teaching or knowledge of human suffering. Three palaces were made for him. At the age of 16, he was married to Yasodhara. Siddhartha was the prince of his country till the age of 29. At the age of 29, one day he went out from his palace for journey and at the way he sees the old man, sick people, and aged people, which he has never seen in his life. He sees them to be suffering a lot, and thought that one day he has to suffer like that one day. Then he escaped from his palace and went to practice in two hermit teachers for medication. Then he learned the medication, though he was said to be achieved of success in the meditation taught by teacher, he still felt incomplete and unsatisfied he went for self-mortification. He was meditating under the tree named pipal. At the age of 35, he attained Enlightenment. After that achievement of Enlightenment, Siddhartha was known as Buddha (an awakened One).
After the Enlightment he found out the four Noble truth about human suffering and ways to eliminate them. They are, the Noble truth of suffering, the Noble truth of the arising of suffering, the Noble truth of the cessation of suffering and the Noble truth of the path leading to cessation of suffering, which are known as achievement of Nirvana. He then came to possess the Nine characteristics of the Buddha. They are arhat (a worthy one), samyak (perfectly self-enlightened), vidyacarna (perfected in knowledge and conduct), sugata (well gone), annuttralokavid (unsurpassed knower of the world), anuutra purusa damya sarathi (unsurpassed leader of persons to be tamed, sast deva-manu syanam (teacher of the gods and humans), Buddha (the enlightened one), and bhagavat (the blessed one or fortunate one).
After that period, he distributed his known fact to the people and started to make disciple. His Disciples were basically taught about the peace, love, truth etc.
Being a Nepali and Buddhist, I do remember the Gautama Buddha and his disciplines whenever I hear about violence and whenever I hear about peace in the world.
