Esala Poya (Full moon day of July) : The Great Renunciation by Prince Siddhartha Gauthama was on a day like today 2609 years ago. After months & years of deliberations with wife Princess Yashodhara, father King Suddodhana, & Royal Family but with their knowledge & consent, the Crown Prince left his Royal Kingdom and lap of luxury to find truth about life; answers to (i) truth of dukka (suffering, anxiety, unsatisfactoriness), (ii) truth of origin of dukka, (iii) truth of cessation of dukka, and (iv) truth of the path to cessation of dukka - the Four Noble Truths. Prince Siddhartha left all his Royal possessions on a Full moon day like today to find the true wisdom for the benefit of all beings, with such humanity & humility large at heart, unaided & unguided yet after a super human struggle on his own will & wisdom he became the Buddha! the Enlightened One! the Greatest Teacher of the Truth!
