| The Great Renunciation Gate, Kapilavastu | |
The Great Renunciation or Great Departure is the traditional term for the departure of Gautama Buddha ( c. 563– c. 483 BCE) from his palace at Kapilavastu to live a life as an ascetic (Sanskrit: śrāmaṇa, Pali: sāmaṇa). It is called the Great Renunciation because it is regarded as a great sacrifice. |
