Results for "Siddhartha" in Psychological

Un jour vient où l'enseignement traditionnel donné aux brahmanes ne suffit plus au jeune Siddhartha. Quand des ascètes Samanas passent dans la ville, il les suit, se familiarise avec toutes leurs pratiques mais n'arrive pas à trouver la paix de l'âme recherchée. Puis c'est la rencontre avec Gautama, le Bouddha.

Siddhartha, written by Hermann Hesse in 1920 deals with a man's lifelong search for self discovery during the time of Buddha. He grows up the son of a Brahman, and his quest for self discovery takes him through living as an asthetic until he actually meets the Buddha, but decides not to follow him, but rather discover the joys of sex and a wealth through a beautiful courtesan. He lives the life of the Playboy until one day he renounces it all to seek a more spiritual being. In the end Siddhartha does find enlightenment.
