Transcript of The Story of Siddhartha
Siddhartha wanted to leave to explore the world. He wanted his father’s permission to leave so he stood still.
Will you stand here?
I will stand till I die or you set me free.
His father finally gave him permission to leave. So Siddhartha left into the woods to become a sadu.
Siddhartha stayed in there for many years.
Siddhartha and Gotama go to visit the Buda. Gotama wants to become a monk while
Siddhartha wants to choose his own path.
After all the years in the woods he come out to cross the river to find a ferryman by the name of Vasudava. He crosses the river and speaks to
him.
He sees a woman named
Kamala and she takes to him to
her pleasure garden. He
stays with her for many years and learns form her about many
things.
Siddhartha and Kamala had many experiences (not for the eyes of small children). They also had
a son but Siddhartha does not stick around.
Sidartha has seen the life or wealth and of the poor when he returns to Vasudava and the river. Just as the wise old man said before,
everything returns to so where it was at the beginning.
Many years later Kamala took Siddhartha’s son to see the Buda but is bitten bye a snake waiting for the fairy to see the Buda and dies on the
boat. The sun goes to live with his father Siddhartha.
Siddhartha and his son loved there for a while until his son ran away never to be seen again. After a while Siddhartha was left alone with no
Vasudava.
