English: 101 - Stoddart - Siddhartha

View the file above for your assignment details

Choose one of the topics below: 

1. Siddhartha slowly loses touch with his inner voice while experiencing the sensual and material world. Could have Siddhartha attained enlightenment without living through “Samsara?” Was the sensual and material world an essential component to his obtaining enlightenment, or was it an unnecessary detour?
2. Siddhartha chooses to reject Buddha’s teachings and find his own path towards enlightenment. However, does not Siddhartha follow - perhaps at a subconscious level - the Buddha’s philosophy, or does Siddhartha incorporate his own philosophy and experience to create an individual and unique path?
