    Throughout history there have been countless numbers of teachers: artisans, craftsmen, ideologist, to name a few. They have all master some skill, gained some wisdom, or comprehended an idea. These teachers have achieved knowledge which allows them to excel and to be above and beyond regular people. Knowledge is something everyone strives for, and many desire. To achieve knowledge, one must have an eye-opening experience, and epiphany that leads to the increase of one’s intellect and skill set. In Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha, the main character, Siddhartha, goes in an almost never ending quest to achieve knowledge. Throughout this journey, Siddhartha encounters many teachers, whom which he learns a great deal, but fails to attain that knowledge he achieves for. However, each and every single one of them teaches him something which ultimately contribute to his final achievement of knowledge. As Siddhartha mentioned to his good friend Govinda:…

    Although the general theme of knowledge has a strong presence in both The Heart Sutra and Plato’s Republic, the definition of what it means to know is a dynamic one. The Heart Sutra focuses on the concept that knowledge is the realization of non-wisdom as true wisdom; this knowledge effectuates nirvana. According to the Buddha, “there is no wisdom and there is no attainment whatsoever.” The discovery of this knowledge is a complex process.…

    The author, Hermann Hesse, narrates the book Siddhartha about a son of a Brahmin who struggles to find the void missing in his life, enlightenment, which is the belief in one’s own power or knowledge for human reasoning through religion, politics, and education. This is important to Siddhartha because he wants to gain happiness, peace, and satisfaction within his heart and soul. The young, curious Siddhartha makes a precarious attempt in leaving behind his family, home and town just to search for the quest of enlightenment along with his friend, Govinda. Through the failed attempts in gaining enlightenment from the Samanas and Buddhism, he suddenly comes to a realization that enlightenment can only be achieved through his own personal belief, not based off a teaching or a religious belief. Through reading Siddhartha, modern-day readers can understand Hermann Hesse’s attempt in having readers understand the key similarities, and differences, between the idea and lifestyle of Siddhartha and the historical Buddha. From this comparison, readers can acknowledge why differences are very important and which set of teachings best suits their lifestyle.…

    It states that the ignorance of man allows for him to tolerate other beliefs. The Buddha compares the quarrelling preachers and scholars to the blind men disputing what an elephant is. The preachers and scholars have only seen, or studied, their own beliefs, and therefore believe they are correct and anyone to say otherwise is wrong. This ignorance causes disputes among one another, as did the ignorance of the blind men disputing what sort of thing the elephant was. The Buddha tries to make a point by reciting a poem, and this point being that you have to look past your own beliefs to get the full picture of what is actually there. The blind men were only given a certain part of the elephant to analyze, so that's what they perceived to be an elephant. However, if they were given the chance to analyze the other parts, which the other men had studied, then they would have the whole picture of what the elephant was, thus a complete understanding. So if the preachers and scholars took time to put aside their own ignorance, and look to the beliefs of the others, then they may in fact get an entire picture, and thus a complete…
