Pretty much-- but your second point is not present anywhere in the book.
I liked this film adaption that was uploaded recently

Money really cannot buy "happiness." ("The only benefit of civilization consists in a greater variety of sensory experiences").
Karma is a great deal more complex than "what goes around comes around"-- in fact, that phrase is not only incomplete it's totally inaccurate.
Buddhism is not pantheistic. If Nirvana were simply dissolving back into the all then death would be Nirvana, and death is absolutely not Nirvana.

>but your second point is not present anywhere in the book.
when siddhartha's son takes jis leave of his father, that action mirrors when siddhartha leaves his own father. "what goes around comes around". siddhartha pretty much says this himself, that it's a cruel irony.
>>7373206
if that's the only thing you understood from this book you're incredibly retarded.
Before even starting the book you projected the
stereotypes you excpected to find in it, and, because you were too focus on trying to find them didn't pay attention to all the subtilities and details.
DUDE WATER LMAO

Very good post, anon. I'm sure you spent more than 10 seconds thinking this up.

Aristotle belived that wealth was required to be happy.
You won't be happy if you are starving and cold.

>You won't be happy if you are starving and cold.
tell that to Diogenes.
>>7373317
Which has nothing to do with the book in question.
>>7373238
That it's an irony doesn't mean a theme of the book is what goes around comes around.
>Woah dood, he had a father and now he is a father, that's like so deep.
>>7373238
>>Woah dood, he had a father and now he is a father, that's like so deep.
You're not even trying.
>>7373206
Yeah its a good book.
>>7373206
Athena stop shitposting.
>>7373431
That's the point. The whole he left his father and now is son has left him is just as insightful as woah dude.
>>7373319
Diogenes was wealthy. He had everthing he desired.
Buddhism is a form of judgemental skydaddyism
>>7373285
this
Always thought that Siddhartha was a little too obvious. Steppenwolf was much better
>>7374275
>A book called Siddhartha
>Obvious
You don't fucking say

Recognising the contingency of existence does not equate pantheism.
>>7373206
You read a book about a buddhist character and got buddhist messages. Congratulations.

I read this book on a mountain in the desert. Toward the end a hawk/falcon one of those flew up to what he apparently considered his spot and flipped shit when he saw me.
>>7373206
Oh you're another one of those turbo-autists who had a seizure at Gautama's answer to Siddhartha, aren't you
>>7373317
He's right, to a point. Statically happiness increases with wealth up to 70k/year then levels off.
>>7373319
Diogenes was a batshit insane dude who used to fap in public and generally tried to be as annoying as humanly posssible.
>>7373227
Just skipped to the sex scenes - amazing. ~37 minute mark, perverts.
