Siddhartha - Couverture souple

ABOUT THE COVER: Being dead (shown on the front cover) and being alive (shown on the back cover) always go hand in hand, but they are distinguished from each other just by a breath. Likewise, being awakened and being unawakened exist side by side, but they always remain apart from each other just by a thought.
—Siddhartha

WHAT DOES "SIDDHARTHA" ENLIGHTEN US? "Siddhartha" offers us the opportunities to realize how we live our life, to recognize why our mind keeps chasing after fleeting desires, and to appreciate how difficult it is to unshackle ourselves from figments of the imagination. Siddhartha enlightens us with indescribable lessons. 1. The truth is something that is not communicable. 2. In every truth, the opposite is equally true. 3. Time is not real. 4. All sorrows, self-torments, and fears are in time. 5. Not everyone has the same view. 6. Everything in life is sacred. 7. Love is the most important thing in the world. 8. Words can never voice the truth. 9. The Om or the Buddhist Nature always rises to the surface.
—Hermann Hesse
