Queen: Finally we are going to have a baby! (To the King)

Narrator: In the month of May, the night of the full moon, Queen Maha Maya gave birth to her son.

King: (To the Wise Men) What should we name our baby boy?

Wise Men: Your son shall be named Siddharta, meaning he shall be the one whose wishes will be fulfilled. Be cautious however, this means that if the Prince sees a dead, old, sick person, or a monk, he will give up his wealth to become a monk himself.

Narrator: The city rejoiced over the birth of their new Prince. Sadly, two days after giving him life, Queen Maha Maya died.

King: (Sobbing) My beautiful wife is dead! I mustn’t let my son become a monk! (To Prajapati) Please, you are the sister to my wife. You must help me raise my son.

Prajapati: (To the Prince) My baby, my baby! How beautiful you are! You look so much like your mama! I will raise you to become the healthiest, happiest and smartest child in your class.

Narrator: And that she did. Siddhartha was considered popular amongst his friends for always being so considerate to all life.

Siddhartha: (To the animals) Who’s a good rabbit? Want an apple?
(Squirrel yelps)

Siddhartha: Oh no! What are you squealing about?! You’re not hurt! Don’t be upset, you’re okay, you’re okay.
(Siddhartha notices a boy beating a snake in the distance)

Boy: Take that snake! Ha ha!

Siddhartha: Stop it stop it! The snake is living too, for he has feelings just as you and I do!

Narrator: The Prince took it upon himself to be the animal advocate and defend their lives. One day, Siddhartha’s cousin, Devadatta, was treating nature cruely.

    Siddhartha encountered four sights that deeply disturbed him and ultimately sent him on his religious quest. Kept inside the walls of the palace was the best way to keep young Siddhartha oblivious from the incomprehensible truths of reality. One day, Siddhartha goes wandering outside his palace with his charioteer and notices something odd. Siddhartha sees two men that look different from everybody else; they showed characteristics of old helpless men. The modern day term we describe people like this would be either hobo or homeless. Siddhartha was curious to learning about these men due to his father keeping the truths of reality from him his whole life. The curious Siddhartha asked his charioteer many questions as he went to explore where these two unfamiliar men went. Siddhartha visualizes the characteristics of an aged elderly man. He learns about aging and that everybody ages no matter what. The next thing Siddhartha encounters is a man in terrible pain. The charioteer describes this to Siddhartha as an illness and how it’s unpredictable to first notice when you have it. Everybody would eventually suffer from illnesses of all sorts and some couldn’t treat it like we do today. Following these two sightings, Siddhartha then witnessed a funeral. He noticed that the physical body was shut down and no longer alive. Siddhartha viewed the body being burned and people crying. Siddhartha felt the sorrow from the weeping family as he learned about death. Finally, Siddhartha saw someone who had given up everything they had in order to search for their inner self. A troubled Siddhartha was inspired by this person and finally decided to leave the palace to embark on a religious quest. On his journey outside the palace, Siddhartha learned that “all humanity is vulnerable to ageing, sickness and death” (Prebish 31). Siddhartha left his wonderful lifestyle, wealth, wife and son to begin…

    Why do people suffer? Buddhists believe that suffering is caused by desire. There are things and people in life we all want and desire, and when we lose them Buddhists believe we suffer. Buddhists want to attain non-attachment so they can be at peace with themselves; they want to reach Nirvana, the state of breaking the cycle of rebirth. They believe that you are reborn when you die, which is called Samsara, and the only way to break that cycle is to find enlightenment. Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse, is a novel about a man’s journey to finding his inner self, to be enlightened. Siddhartha was born a Brahmin, the highest of the caste system in Hinduism, but he felt that he had to find his own path to enlightenment. As a Brahmin, he was expected to reach Nirvana. He joined the Samanas, listened to the Buddha, lost himself in riches and pleasures, and found himself again at the brink of suicide. Siddhartha finds himself when he looks into the river he is about to jump in. The river awakens him. The novel centers on Siddhartha’s journey through experiencing the extremes of deprivation and excess and leads the reader to understand how he found peace. Hermann Hesse uses the river symbolically to represent Siddhartha’s final understanding of the meaning of life; he lived through the extremes and found the middle path, which put him at peace with himself.…

    Able to quickly learn anything his teachers taught him but the information did not “nurse him, feed him, or satisfy” his thirst to know more, Siddhartha's realization that not all wisdom is taught by a teacher causes him to go on a new journey of self identification. While his scholarly lifestyle taught him to read and write, Siddhartha’s teachers would have never been able to teach him what to write. With the belief that “Writing is good, [but] thinking is better”, Siddartha and others can learn from their mistakes and map out their own lives. By living unique lives, people can use…

    Loyalty and faith can be portrayed in many ways, however, requires discipline to be attained. “Beowulf” is an epic poem about a warrior who is required to defend a town from a beast which terrorizes and kills all of its people. This warriors name is Beowulf, whose strength and courage is put to test as he fights this beast. On the other hand, Siddhartha is a story about a young man who strives to find nirvana, a state of mind where there is no pain, worry, or an external world. Siddhartha leaves his family for a contemplative life, to reach his one goal- to let the “self” die. Both of these characters undergo experiences so as to portray loyalty, which involve making sacrifices for the well being of others. Loyalty is expresses in multiple ways, but certain actions can lead to unfaithfulness.…

    From Gotama Buddha, Siddhartha realizes he would rather walk his own path than follow another's. After pursuing Buddha's followings with his companion Govinda, Siddhartha has a revelation while he is conversing with Gotama. " 'That is why I am going on my way- not to seek another and better doctrine, for I know there is none, but to leave all doctrines and all teachers and to reach my goal alone- or die' "(34). This quote shows how Gotama has influenced Siddhartha to seek Self unaccompanied, marking a significant turning point in Siddhartha's journey. Subsequent to Siddhartha's encounter with Buddha, he meets a beautiful woman named Kamala who drastically changes him. The author of Siddhartha explains in detail how the title character slowly takes on characteristics of average citizens while living with Kamala. "Gradually, along with his growing riches, Siddhartha himself acquired some of the characteristics of the ordinary people, some of their childishness and some of their anxiety"(77). At this point in the novel, Siddhartha begins to be disgusted with himself, and recognizes that life with Kamala is not the place he should be in to find peace. Shortly after he apprehends this, Siddhartha leaves Kamala only to find a peaceful Ferryman, named Vasudeva who introduces Siddhartha to a river. In the following quote, Vasudeva explains to Siddhartha the power of the river that they live by. "'The river knows everything; one can learn everything from it'"(105). This quote…

    Even though the main character of Herman Hesse’s novel shares the same name as the prophet Siddhartha Gotama (a.k.a. Buddha) they ARE NOT the same person. Herman Hesse borrowed heavily from both Hindu and Buddhist philosophy to create a tale of one man’s quest for truth and enlightenment. In addition, some of the events in the life of the prophet Siddhartha parallel the life of Hesse’s character Siddhartha. Some might go so far as to call the novel a legend—based in history, with a focus on a larger than life human, but fictionalized!…
