abstract: The Great Renunciation or Great Departure is the traditional term for the departure of Gautama Buddha from his palace at Kapilavastu to live a life as an ascetic (Sanskrit: śrāmaṇa, Pali: sāmaṇa). It is called the Great Renunciation because of the great sacrifice it entails. Most accounts of this event can be found in post-canonical Buddhist texts from several Buddhist traditions, which contain the most complete accounts. These are, however, of a more mythological nature. Most well-known of these is the Jātakanidāna, a commentary to the Jātaka attributed to Buddhaghosa. According to these accounts, at the birth of Prince Siddhārtha Gautama, the Buddha-to-be, brahmin priests predict that he will either become a world teacher or a world ruler. To prevent his son from turning to religious life, Prince Siddhārtha's father and rāja of the Śākya clan Śuddhodana does not allow him to see death or suffering, and distracts him with luxury. But the prince continues to ponder about religious questions, and when he is 29 years old, he see four signs for the first time in his life: an old man, a sick person, a corpse and an ascetic. Moved by all the things he has experienced, the prince decides to leave the palace behind in the middle of the night against the will of his father, to live the life of an wandering ascetic, leaving behind his son Rāhula and wife Yaśodharā. The story of Siddhārtha's renunciation illustrates the conflict between lay duties and religious life, and shows how even the most pleasurable lives are still filled with suffering. The Great Renunciation has been depicted much in Buddhist art, and has influenced ordination rituals in several Buddhist communities. A modified version of the story can be found in the legend of the Christian apostles Barlaam and Josaphat, which was based on the Buddhist legend.
