Siddhartha, the son of a wealthy Brahmin, is unable to find peace
within his own religion and community so sets off on his travels
through India in search of enlightenment. First he spends time with
a group of ascetics called Samanas. For a while he embraces their
doctrine and rejects all worldly goods. When he hears about a man
called Gotama the Buddha he leaves the Samanas. However Buddhist
teaching disappoints him and he realizes that self-discovery must
come from his own experiences. He rejects the spiritual life, takes
a lover and becomes a rich merchant. But after some years,
dissatisfied with materialism, he takes off again in search of the
spiritual peace he longs for.
