It is to bad they did not include that fact that Buddha abandon his wife and children to find his personal enlightenment .. so much for a committed life

Some christian saints did the same, especially the hermits.

"Some Christian saints did the same,especially the hermits"

Christian theologian, Augustine, abandoned his lover and their child – although, unlike Augustine, the Buddha left his family in comfort and safety.
