Originally Answered: Why did Gautama Buddha renounce his home?
Cognitive dissonance. He couldn’t reconcile his wealth and comfort with the misery and suffering he saw outside his gated-community bubble.
He set about trying to find the ‘truth’ by performing penances and austerities, as this was the conventional wisdom at the time.
Being quite strong-willed, he pushed his body pretty close to the point of death without finding what he was seeking.
His realization was that he had actually always had everything he had been searching for when he remembered a moment of peace and clarity sitting as a child in his father’s garden.
He then began teaching lessons to help others to know this awakened state through a series of practices which mirrored the condition which he resided in and which had nothing whatsoever to do with his own process.
I’m not trying to be flip; I’m trying to put my answer into a direct and immediate context without the millennia of formalized structure.
I think one of his most important teachings is to always feel the permission, and even necessity, of making any practices and techniques you incorporate into your life your own. No one has ever achieved enlightenment by blindly and rigidly following another’s path. Your path is yours alone. Awakening is the most idiosyncratic thing there is.
