=With The Samanas=

Begining of the week I decidided to give up playing videogames. it was not that hard at the begining of the week. one of the reasons is i dont really play much during the school week because of homework. it is not that hard because it is only one week and during lent i have to give up something for 60 days instead of 6. It got a little bit harder through out the week but i will explain that is the other paragraphs.

Middle of the week

I thought a couple times of playinging videogames but i didnt. It was getting a little harder. It acually was a good thing for once that i had homework so i couled not play videogames. I still think this is a extremely easy homework assignment. it got a little harder through out the week but i will explain it in the next section. End of the week

At the end of the week i didint even think about it. i acually, eisily made it. i thought this was one of the easyiest homework asignments ever. i didnt even play once. it was not challenging like it was for alot of people. i am glad that i acually made it. i am not suprised that i did though.

=Quotes= Siddhartha learned a lot when he was with the Samanas, many ways leading away from the self he learned to go.

He went the way of self-denial by means of pain, through voluntarily suffering and overcoming pain, hunger, thirst, tiredness. He went the way of self-denial by means of meditation, through imagining the mind to be void of all conceptions.

But though the ways led away from the self, their end nevertheless always led back to the self.

=Pg 1 on word document version= =for all of them=

=The reason i choose these quotes were because at first it was hard for me to stop playing and to let go. Siddartha went through self denial and suffering when he became a sammana. I felt a less extreame version of how siddartha felt. I am proud for siddartha for what he did. But the thing is this a just a book and is not real.=

=Awakening= = =

The reason i chose to draw this picture was sidartha saw the world for the first time. He was seeing all of the amazing colors and places so i decided to draw what he saw, very vibrate coloured nature. He had relized that he had not been happy before and was now seeing the world as if through the eyes of a child who has never seen this before. =Quotes= No, this is over; I have awakened, I have indeed awakened and have not been born before this very day
 * Pg 1 of worrd document**

He looked around, as if he were seeing the world for the first time. The world was beautiful and colorful; the world was strange and mysterious! Here was blue, here was yellow, here was green; the sky and the river flowed, the forest and the mountains were fixed in their places. All of it was beautiful, all of it was mysterious and magical, and in its midst he, Siddhartha, the awakening one, was on the path to himself. All of this—the yellow and blue, river and forest—entered Siddhartha for the first time through the eyes; it was no longer a spell of Mara, no longer the veil of Maya, no longer a pointless and coincidental diversity of mere appearances, despicable to the Brahmin of deep thoughts who scorns diversity and seeks unity. Blue was blue, river was river, and if the divine principle lay hidden within the blue and the river that lived within Siddhartha, so it was divinity's way and purpose for there to be here yellow, here blue, there sky, there forest, and here Siddhartha. The purpose and the essential properties were not somewhere behind the things; they were in them, in everything.

=The reason i choose these quotes were because as time went on things got eisier for siddartha, just like it was for me. I can imagine it was a lot harder for siddartha because he gave up pretty much everything and i just gave up videogames. I think it is very good to give up something every once and a while, then you realize that you do not need it at all.= = = = Kamala =



=I think how siddartha needs to woo woman is to get just be himself. Not to be all fancy and act like a person he's not. H e dosnt need anything fancy but clean himself so he dosnt smell bad. Siddartha needs to be the person he really is. Woman like honest, kind men. That is what i think sidartha needs to do to woo the woman.=
 * Quotes**

Beautiful and lovely it was, thus to walk through the world, thus childlike, thus awoken, thus open to what is near, thus without distrust.

"To tell you this and to thank you for being so beautiful. And if it doesn't displease you, Kamala, I would like to ask you to be my friend and teacher, for I know nothing yet of that art which you have mastered in the highest degree." At this, Kamala laughed aloud. Like this it is, precisely like this it is also with Kamala and with the pleasures of love. Beautiful and red is Kamala's mouth, but just try to kiss it against Kamala's will, and you will not obtain a single drop of sweetness from it, which knows how to give so many sweet things! You are learning easily, Siddhartha, thus you should also learn this: love can be obtained by begging, buying, receiving it as a gift, finding it in the street, but it cannot be stolen. In this, you have come up with the wrong path. No, it would be a pity, if a pretty young man like you would want to tackle it in such a wrong manner." =**The resons i choose these quotes were these. The whole chapter was pretty much about teaching siddartha about love. Siddartha did not know almost anything about it but with the help of kamala he accually learned alot. I do not think this chapter was important to siddartha finding enlightenment but it was an intresting chapter.**= = Samsara =

=I made my comic strip like this because it explains what i do every day. It is pretty much the same thing over and over again like in the comic. first i get up, then i have breakfast, go to school, have dinner, and then do my homework and go to bed. I also take a shower in the morning but these are the main things that i do every day. The reason we did these comics is to see how we are reapeting and wasting our days like siddartha with his gambling problem. I really enjoyed doing the comic because we got to express ourselfs and have fun at school making a comic.= =Quotes=

On a strange and devious way, Siddhartha had gotten into this final and most base of all dependencies, by means of the game of dice. It was since that time, when he had stopped being a Samana in his heart, that Siddhartha began to play the game for money and precious things, which he at other times only joined with a smile and casually as a custom of the childlike people, with an increasing rage and passion. He was a feared gambler, few dared to take him on, so high and audacious were his stakes. He played the game due to a pain of his heart, losing and wasting his wretched money in the game brought him an angry joy, in no other way he could demonstrate his disdain for wealth, the merchants' false god, more clearly and more mockingly. Thus he gambled with high stakes and mercilessly, hating himself, mocking himself, won thousands, threw away thousands, lost money, lost jewelry, lost a house in the country, won again, lost again. That fear, that terrible and petrifying fear, which he felt while he was rolling the dice, while he was worried about losing high stakes, that fear he loved and sought to always renew it, always increase it, always get it to a slightly higher level, for in this feeling alone he still felt something like happiness, something like an intoxication, something like an elevated form of life in the midst of his saturated, lukewarm, dull life. =**The reason i choose these quotes were these. Siddarthas scedule kept on repeating itself every day. Siddartha realized it but it took a long time for him to get out of it. When he gambled it made him happy temporaliy but later he felt bad that he had gambled. I think that siddartha having this experiance was good so he couled relise that having everything for yourself does not always make people happy.**= = The River =

media type="youtube" key="4DE5a80I8EU" width="425" height="350" =The reason i chose this song is because of the river in the story is very significant. It is just around the river bend to happiness for siddartha. Being with the ferryman made sidartha happy and to get there siddartha only had to go around the river bend. It was so close to him the whole time but he never realized how easy it wouled be but if he did then there wouled not be much of a story.= media type="youtube" key="Zl5r76hVYF0" width="425" height="350" The reason i chose this song is because siddartha goes over the river multiple times in the story with the ferryman. It is a very signifiacant part of the book when siddartha meets the ferryman because if he never had this experience with the ferryman then he may never had found his enlightenment. Even if it is only a short amount of time with him at first but leads to alot more later and at the end of the book. media type="youtube" key="yopNkcDzQQw" width="425" height="350"

=Finnaly i chose this song because it talks about crying me a river. Siddartha is very sad in the book alot because he couled not find elightenment, also i chose this song because it is talking about love which made me think of kamala. Lastly i chose this song because in the book a main symbol is the river. That is what led siddartha to his enlightenment. In this song Michael Buble is sortof arguing and siddartha through out the book is arguing at himself for not being able to find elightenment. Those are the reasons why i chose this song.= Quotes

Years passed by; surrounded by the good life, Siddhartha hardly felt them fading away. He had become rich, for quite a while he possessed a house of his own and his own servants, and a garden before the city by the river. In the night when he slept in the straw hut of a ferryman by the river, ..... Siddhartha reached the large river in the forest, the same river over which a long time ago, when he had still been a young man and came from the town of Gotama, a ferryman had conducted him. By this river he stopped, hesitantly he stood at the bank. Tiredness and hunger had weakened him, and whatever for should he walk on, wherever to, to which goal? No, there were no more goals, there was nothing left but the deep, painful yearning to shake off this whole desolate dream, to spit out this stale wine, to put an end to this miserable and shameful life. =**The reason i choose these quotes were these. Siddartha was very close to finding enlightenment when he was by the river. Earlier on in the book the ferryman gave siddartha a free ride across the river and had a big conversation which was a forshadowing for later on. Siddartha finally relised what he needed to do to find enlightenment when he was by this river. That is why i choose these quotes.**= =**Om**= []
