Talk:Great Renunciation

Isolated content
I couldn't integrate this content well with the rest of the article, as I couldn't expand on it:


 * Prince Siddhārtha renouncing when 29 years old may have an astrological meaning: the number indicates growing up and entering adult life.
 * Scholar of religion T.H Barrett has suggested that the Great Renunciation may also be read as a political criticism with regard to hereditary monarchy, in a time when this was not yet an established tradition.
 * The scene in which Māra attempts to block the prince is also often depicted in Southeast Asian art.
 * The elongated earlobes of the Buddha without princely jewelry, as depicted in most Buddha images, are seen as an emblem of the Great Renunciation.
