Discussion Highlights:
- In this meeting we once again discussed journals
- Sam and Dan both drew pictures of people in nature, seemingly Siddhartha in order to represent how he managed to achieve enlightenment at the end of the novel.
-Sam drew a man under a tree in order to represent Siddhartha during his journey of enlightenment. Meanwhile Dan drew a photo of Siddhartha at the river bank in which he realized that nature is the key to achieving enlightenment.
- Ryan’s journal delves into how enlightenment cannot be taught, and instead one has to venture out and achieve it on their own, which is something that Siddhartha believed at the end of the book.

Members Present: Dan, Joe, Ryan, and Sam

Discussion Highlights:
- Question: How can we learn from what Siddhartha is doing?
- Siddhartha is putting aside his material desires in order to better his life and achieve enlightenment. Although we do not believe in enlightenment, we can use his example to get rid of our over materialistic views in order to grow closer to God and in our faith.
- Although we also agree that it would be very difficult for us to do so in the modern age.

The ending was very weird but was nice in how cyclical it was. He ends by talking with his friend about his own weird faith journey.

It’s a weird book. I’m not too knowledgeable on Indian philosophy but this is as good a place to start as any. So far it’s doing a good job staying grounded which can be hard for these philosophical books. It’s like The Alchemyst but I think it’s better as it is more grounded and realistic.

1. This meeting went really well once again. Everybody brought meaningful topics to the discussion through their journals. Our final thoughts on the book are that it was interesting, and we enjoyed reading it. Despite not knowing much about philosophy or more specifically Indian philosophy, we still had a great time reading and discussing it.

Though the book isnt very entertaining, it is enjoyable because of the philosophical extent the book portrays onto you the reader. It’s an enjoyable sense of understanding things not yet understood philosophically.

1. This was a great meeting in which we discussed a very deep question of, how can we grow from Siddhartha’s story? We concluded that we can do so by growing in our faith through denying materialism; however it is difficult to do so in a material centered world. One thing we did well this meeting was that we all participated in the discussion and answering of this question, and we all shared our or journals that we took.

1. We felt that this meeting was very insightful and that it was interesting to see all of our thoughts on Siddhartha’s fall into material possessions. One thing we did well this meeting was sharing our journals and offering insightful comments, not only about our own journals but also others’.
