《流浪者之歌》（Siddhartha）是赫曼·赫塞（Hermann Hesse）於1922年出版的小說，描述一位印度青年悉達多（Siddhartha）在靈性追求中經歷種種人生階段的故事。

 

「書中悉達多多次反思自己的過去，那些曾經的他——例如放縱的他、追逐財富的他——都像是一種“影子”，是一段與真我分離的存在。這些「影子自我」隨著他的靈性成長逐漸被他看穿、理解、甚至包容。」

「影子你到底要跟我多久？」

記得我看《流浪者之歌》的時候，曾經對著「影子」兩個字流下淚來！

那時候年輕的心靈就很清楚人怎麼可能擺脫自我的影子？

披緇後，那些不敢想的有關流浪者的影子思索，全先ㄧ律埋藏，先看佛法怎麼說。

 

「赫塞深受東方哲學與佛教影響。在某些描述中，影子可以被理解為一種「無常」、「非自性」（Anatta）的象徵。影子無法被掌握，它隨著光與形體變化，這與佛教對「自我」本質的觀點頗為相似。」

如今，翻了一個大身，再看赫曼.赫塞，光抓一點AI的資料也夠瞧的。再次面對「影子」哈，不是討厭鬼！

 

《流浪者之歌》永遠之歌。

Greetings, friends of NanZen!

 

 

"Siddhartha", published in 1922 by Hermann Hesse, tells the story of a young Indian man, Siddhartha, and his spiritual journey through various stages of life.

 

"In the book, Siddhartha repeatedly reflects on his past — those former versions of himself, such as the indulgent version, the one who chased wealth — all of them appear as 'shadows,' a state of existence separated from his true self. These 'shadow selves' gradually become transparent, understood, and even embraced as he spiritually grows."

(The above is from AI data.)

 

"Shadow, how long are you going to follow me?" 

I remember when I read Siddhartha, I shed tears over the word "shadow." 

Even at my young age, I was clearly aware how one could never truly escape the shadow of the self. After becoming a Buddhist nun, all the thoughts about the "shadow" of the wandering were buried deep, striving to see what Buddhism had to say first.

 

"Hesse was deeply influenced by Eastern philosophy and Buddhism. In certain descriptions, the shadow can be seen as a symbol of 'impermanence' and 'non-self' (Anatta). The shadow cannot be grasped; it changes with light and form, which aligns closely with Buddhism's view of the 'self'."

(The above is from AI data.)

 

Now, after a leap progress in spiritual practice, though a very small part of information grabbing from AI about Hermann Hesse is already abundant enough, yet, re-facing the "shadow" is not so annoying and painstaking anymore!

 

“Siddhartha” — an eternal song.
