Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha talks about the life and spiritual journey of Sutdhartha, the modern Brahmin Buddha. The name of Siddhartha, in Sanskrit, the words "accomplishment" and "what is being searched" are compared with the Buddha itself, which was the same name as when he himself was the prince. Siddhartha is not satisfied with his spiritual condition as Brahman and is immersed in various other philosophies of life. He became a summer for enlightenment, encountered the Buddha, and tried a urbanized material lifestyle, but these choices made him impossible.

Therefore, he meditated for 49 days under the Bodhi tree until he reached a very cognitive state known as "killing". Shortly thereafter he developed four principles of holy sacred Buddhism. During the remaining 45 years of his life, he traveled northeast India to teach the principles of Buddhism until he died at the age of 80.
