   At what moon phase did The Buddha come out of his ascetic   
   years and reach awakening/enlightenment?   
      
   I think in a thread on talk.religion.buddhism in February 2003   
   someone said that in some traditions Enlightenment was reached   
   at full moon and in other traditions at first quarter moon.
