Siddhartha, an aristocratic young man in ancient India, was handsome and intelligent, and had everything that people envied. In order to pursue spiritual peace, he embarked on a journey of seeking Taoism alone. He listened to Buddha Gautama's teachings in Savatthi City, met the famous prostitute Kamala in the bustling city, and became a wealthy businessman. The enjoyment of his soul and body reached its peak, but it made him tired of and despised himself to the extreme. After making love with Kamala for the last time, he abandoned all worldly things and came to the river to end his life. At that most desperate moment, he suddenly heard the eternal voice of the river of life... After almost a lifetime of pursuit, Siddhartha finally experienced the harmony and unity of all things, the indestructible nature of all life, and finally integrated himself into the eternity of the moment. This book is translated by Su Nianqiu, a famous Taiwanese translator and essayist. Also known as "The Wanderer's Song"
Reader comments
One flower, one world, even though I understand it, I don't understand it, haha. The last chapter was a bit confusing. The most important thing is your own experience and feelings.
It seems to be detached from all things, but in fact it is integrated with the past, present, and future, becoming part or all of all things. This integration and unity of all things is a fact, rather than acceptance, understanding, and recognition based on language.
A girl from a variety show recommended this book. She suggested reading this book when you are confused in life.
At first I read it with this idea in mind, but I couldn't understand it. The protagonist is Siddhartha. The novel mainly writes about the people and things related to Siddhartha. From an ignorant and rebellious boy, he went through many ups and downs, and finally chose to spend the last moments of his life as an ordinary ferryman. In the end, he left in front of his former good friend Govinda, and also gave Govinda some inspiration.
There are indeed insights and inspirations about life in the novel, and I have read a lot of them, but I feel that this book did not attract me. But it's quite short, so I finished it. Maybe my level is not that high yet, go read the explanation! [Exploration]
Be grateful for all the love that travels through time and space to ignite yourself
I didn't understand it, it's too difficult and I have to take a test😭
It seems that I understand but not understand hahaha, but in fact I just looked away.
This book is very interesting! Siddhartha gave up worldly enjoyments to pursue spiritual peace. This courage and determination are admirable. His experience made me understand that the meaning of life does not lie in material pursuits, but in inner growth and awareness. This book is like a wise man chatting with you, making you think more deeply about life. Recommend!
A good book, profound and thought-provoking, giving people a deeper understanding of life and philosophy.
He loves translated books and is very religious. Hesse is a wandering, lonely and reclusive poet.
Everything we pursue has great meaning, but until we understand this meaning, greatness is invisible, like light hidden in the night.
It's worth thinking about
Classic, worth buying twice!
Spectacular spiritual world
So it is necessary to go through all this, there is no way, no way
This book is very specific about life and one's inner monologue at different stages.
I haven't fully understood it yet, but I feel that there are many similarities with Wang Yangming's path of seeking the Tao.
A stroke of genius, this is exactly the book I have been longing to read! !
At this moment, Siddhartha has become a Buddha [grass has been planted]
