What is known as Four Great Sights?
Advertisements
Solution
‘Four Great Sights’, are related to Gautama Buddha, who was moved by these sights and ultimately decided to renounce the worldly pleasures, e.g. An old man bent with age, a sick man groaning with pain, a dead body of a man being carried etc. filled Gautama with deep sorrow; while the sight of an ascetic in search of salvation consoled him at last.
