たるみの悩み相談〜目の下のたるみ 顔のたるみ シミ〜

Siddhartha a Brahmin's son and his friend departs his fathers house in search of a different life than the sedate environment of home. His father (Amrik Singh) says that if he finds truth then return and tell him. And if he should find nothing to return any way; as like the river everything returns.

His path through the story, that takes place in no certain time or place, sort of parallels the Buddha’s searching’s but is not a fictionalized version. His friend finally chooses another path leaving Siddhartha to find his way alone. Siddhartha decides that enlightenment comes from within and can not be taught. The Buddha admonishes Siddhartha not to be too clever.

His searching takes him through several lives as he learns of love and money, and a few more experiences. He almost seems like snot as he explains to a courtesan that he doesn’t really love. Recognizing that he has wasted his time with searching he comes to some interesting conclusions.

In this 1972 film by Conrad Rooks captures more of the original book than he intended.

One of the profound items I picked up on was the speech about what a rock could be.
