Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You have done so by your own seeking in your own way, through thought, through meditation, through knowledge, through enlightenment. You have learned nothing through teachings, and so I think, O Illustrious One, that nobody finds salvation through teachings. To nobody, O Illustrious One, can you communicate in words and teachings, what happened to you in the hour of your enlightenment. The teachings of the enlightened Buddha embrace much, they teach much—how to live righteously, how to avoid evil. But there is one thing that this clear, worthy instruction does not contain; it does not contain the secret of what the Illustrious One himself experienced—he alone among hundreds of thousands.” Hermann Hesse, one of the literary stalwarts of the 20th century, was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1946. Hesse wanted to be a poet from the early age of 12, and a slim volume of his poems was published in 1899. Unfortunately, it did not create a significant stir in the literary world. In 1904, Peter Camenzind, Hesse’s debut novel, received tremendous critical acclaim, and it is considered one of the finest works in literature even today. Hesse’s visit to India in 1911 inspired him to delve into the finer details of Eastern religions, and a little over a decade later, Siddhartha (1922) was published. Hermann Hesse received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1946. In 1955, he received the Peace Prize of the German Booksellers. Steppenwolf and The Glass Bead Game are some of his other seminal works. He died in Montagnola, Switzerland in 1962.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CLASSIC NOVEL OF ONE MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING HAS DELIGHTED, INSPIRED, AND INFLUENCED GENERATIONS This classic allegorical novel of self-discovery by Hermann Hesse has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922, after Hesse had spent time in India. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, provides the reader with insight into the philosophy and thoughts that shape Siddhartha’s path to enlightenment. The story revolves around Siddhartha, a wealthy young man who, during the time of the Buddha, casts off a life of privilege and comfort to take a spiritual journey on a quest for fulfillment and wisdom. His travels lead him through a range of human experiences from hunger and want, to passion, pleasure, pain, greed, yearning, boredom, love, despair and hope. The novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hesse’s time, synthesizing differing philosophies. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters Buddhist monks, successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgence to the rigors of self-denial. With parallels to the enlightenment of the Buddha, Siddhartha learns that wisdom cannot be taught — it must come from one’s own experience and inner struggle as true knowledge is guided from within. Siddhartha presents an original view of man and culture, and the difficult process of self-discovery that leads to compatibility, harmony, and peace. A must read for anyone seeking self-knowledge in today’s materialistic world.

Download or read book Awareness written by Osho and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century will help you learn how to live in the present moment in Awareness: The Key to Living in Balance. Underlying all meditation techniques, including martial arts—and in fact underlying all great athletic performances—is a quality of being awake and present to the moment, a quality that Osho calls awareness. Once we can identify and understand what this quality of awareness is, we have the key to self-mastery in virtually every area of our lives. According to great masters like Lao Tzu or Buddha, most of us move through our lives like sleepwalkers. Never really present in what we are doing, never fully alert to our environment, and not even aware of what motivates us to do and say the things we do. At the same time, all of us have experienced moments of awareness—or awakening, to use another—in extraordinary circumstances. On the road, in a sudden and unexpected accident, time seems to stop and one is suddenly aware of every movement, every sound, every thought. Or in moments that touch us deeply—welcoming a new baby into the world for the first time, or being with someone at the moment of death. Awareness, says Osho, is the key to being self-directed, centered, and free in every aspect of our lives. In this book, Osho teaches how to live life more attentively, mindfully, and meditatively, with love, caring and consciousness. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Book excerpt: Siddhartha is a 1922 novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated Siddhartha to Romain Rolland and Wilhelm Gundert. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in the Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals." In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilvastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama."
