i think the answer is D. he left everything he owned and knew in the castle he grew up in and apparently only had two belongings; the strips of clothing he had on his back and a bowl to plead people for food (supposedly, he only ate a grain of rice a day) and he spent 6 years as a holy man trying to find the answer as to why people suffer.
