This marked the Buddha's first visit to his hometown after renouncing the royal life and achieving liberation. \nDuring this visit\, the Buddha reconnected with King Suddhodana (his father)\, Princess Yasodhara (his former wife) and Prince Rahula (his son\, about 7 years old). \nRahula approached the Buddha and asked for his inheritance. Instead of wealth or kingdom\, the Buddha gave him the gift of the Dhamma. \nThe Buddha instructed Ven. Sariputta to ordain Rahula. Rahula became the first Samanera (novice monk) in Buddhist history. \nThis moment is seen as the beginning of the novice ordination tradition\, still practiced in Buddhist communities worldwide today. \nMedin Full Moon Poya Day marks a turning point in Buddhist history by extending the Dhamma to the Buddha's own family\, and establishes the tradition of novice ordination\, central to Buddhist monastic culture.
