First he spends time with a group of ascetics called Samanas. For a while he embraces their doctrine and rejects all worldly goods. When he hears about a man called Gotama the Buddha he leaves the Samanas. However Buddhist teaching disappoints him and he realizes that self-discovery must come from his own experiences. He rejects the spiritual life, takes a lover and becomes a rich merchant. But after some years, dissatisfied with materialism, he takes off again in search of the spiritual peace he longs for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55438604435836,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8930\/2764\/files\/s-hh-01.jpg?v=1749818542","url":"https:\/\/bookbubble.co.uk\/products\/siddhartha-hermann-hesse","provider":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
