Question
Why did Buddha renounce the world?
Advertisements
Solution
One day Prince Siddhartha, while on a chariot ride through the city, saw three sights — of an old man, a sick man, and a dead body being carried by mourners. This disturbed and distressed him. Then he saw an ascetic who was serene and calm. No sorrow or worldly miseries affected him. These are the Four Great Sights that changed his life and he renounced the world.
