Siddhartha is a novella by German writer Hermann Hesse, published in Germany in 1922.
Siddhartha, subtitled "An Indian Poem", is set in Indian society and religion and writes about the thoughts and pursuits of the protagonist Siddhartha's life, from the son of a noble Brahmin to Shaman, who met the enlightened Gautama, who did not join after listening to and thinking deeply about his teachingsAfter falling into the world, he was addicted to the sound of dogs and horses;In his later years, he finally realized himself. In Siddhartha, Hesse tries to use the Indians of the Buddha's time as a backdrop to unfold his questioning of the world and life. Although Siddhartha, the protagonist of **, was a contemporary of the Buddha, Hesse wanted to show the reader the spirit of the times in Europe before and after the First World War, especially in Germany.
Siddhartha, this mysterious book, made me feel unprecedented shock in the process of reading. It tells the story of Siddhartha's journey from youth to old age, from Brahmin to Shaman, from nobleman to ascetic. In this process, Siddhartha continued to explore, think, and practice, and finally found the true meaning of life.
This book is recommended for the following reasons:
1. Siddhartha's outlook on life and values have strong practical significance for us modern people. He advocated"Selfless"Let's learn to let go of our egos and pursue inner peace and contentment.
2. Siddhartha's wisdom makes us understand that the meaning of life is not the pursuit of material wealth and status, but the pursuit of spiritual growth and sublimation.
Three: Siddhartha's practice has taught us how to face the difficulties and challenges in life, and how to persevere in the face of adversity and move forward with faith.
Four: Siddhartha's story is full of touching details that give us a deeper understanding of the complexity and diversity of human nature.
5: Finally, I would like to say that the story of Siddhartha is not only a story of personal growth, but also a microcosm of the spiritual journey of humanity. I hope everyone can benefit a lot from this and find their own wisdom in life.
Hesse's unique aesthetic is a literary feast of wisdom and thought. I really recommend those who are in a state of confusion to calm down and read this book. Good book recommendation
