1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:08.439
Chapter three Gautama. In the town
as Savathi, every child knew the name

2
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:13.720
of the Exalted Buddha, and every
house was prepared to fill the arms dish

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:21.239
of Gautama's disciples. The silently begging
ones near the town was Gatama's favorite place

4
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:27.679
to stay, the grove of Jetavana, which the rich merchant Anatha Pindika,

5
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.679
an obedient worshiper of the Exalted One, had given him and his people for

6
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:39.600
a gift. All tales and answers
which the two young ascetics had received in

7
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:45.119
their search for Gatama's abode, had
pointed them towards this area, and arriving

8
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.320
at Savathi. In the very first
house, before the door of which they

9
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.280
stopped to beg food has been offered
to them, and they accepted the food,

10
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.920
and Saddhartha asked the woman who handed
them the food, We would like

11
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.760
to know, charitable one, where
the Buddha dwells, the most venerable one.

12
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.359
For we are two Samanas from the
forest and have come to see him,

13
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:14.920
the perfected One, and to hear
the teachings from his mouth. Quoth

14
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.920
the woman here, you have truly
come to the right place, You samanas

15
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.000
from the forest. You should know
in Jetavana, in the garden of Anatha

16
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.000
Pindika is where the Exalted One dwells. There, you pilgrim, shall spend

17
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.760
the night, for there is enough
space for the innumerable who flock here to

18
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.040
hear the teachings from his mouth.
This made Govinda happy and full of joy.

19
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:49.840
He exclaimed, Well, so thus
we have reached our destination and our

20
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.840
path has come to an end.
But tell us, o, mother of

21
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.040
the pilgrims, do you know him, the Buddha? Have you seen him

22
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.840
with your own eyes? Quoth the
woman. Many times I have seen him,

23
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.639
the Exalted One. On many days
I have seen him walking through the

24
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.840
alleys in silence, wearing his yellow
cloak, presenting his arms dish in silence

25
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.840
at the doors of the houses,
leaving with a filled dish. Delightedly,

26
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:27.240
Govinda listened and wanted to ask and
hear much more, but Siddartha urged him

27
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.199
to walk on. They thanked and
left and hardly had to ask for directions,

28
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.479
for rather many pilgrims and monks as
well from Gautama's community were on their

29
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.000
way to the Jetavana, and since
they reached it at night, there were

30
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.000
constant arrivals, shouts and talk of
those who sought shelter and got it.

31
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.439
The two Samanas, accustomed to life
in the forest, found quickly and without

32
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.039
making any noise, a place to
stay, and rested there until the morning.

33
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.240
At sunrise, they saw with astonishment
what a large crowd of believers and

34
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.960
curious people had spent the night here
on all paths of the marvelous grove.

35
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.439
Monks walked in yellow robes under the
trees. They sat here and there in

36
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:23.360
deep contemplation or in a conversation about
spiritual matters. The shady gardens looked like

37
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:30.800
a city full of people, bustling
like bees. The majority of the monks

38
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.120
went out with their arms dish to
collect food in town for their lunch,

39
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.479
the only meal of the day.
The buddher himself, the enlightened One,

40
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.319
was also in the habit of taking
his walk to beg in the morning.

41
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.800
Siddartha saw him, and he instantly
recognized him, as if a god had

42
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.919
pointed him out to him. He
saw him, a simple man in a

43
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:01.560
yellow robe, bearing the arms dish
in his hand, walked silently. Look

44
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:08.879
here, said Arthur, said quietly
to Govinda. This one is the Buddha.

45
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.039
Attentively, Govinda looked at the monk
in the yellow robe, who seemed

46
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.800
to be in no way different from
the hundreds of other monks, and soon

47
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:24.639
Govinda also realized this is the one, and they followed him and observed him.

48
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.120
The Buddha went on his way,
modestly and deep in his thoughts.

49
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.800
His calm face was neither happy nor
sad. It seemed to smile gently and

50
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:43.360
inwardly, with a hidden smile,
quiet calm, somewhat resembling a healthy child.

51
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.160
The Buddha walked, wore the robe, and placed his feet, just

52
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:53.680
as all of his monks did according
to a precise rule. But his face

53
00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.240
and his walk, his quietly lowered
glance, his quietly dangling hand, and

54
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:09.720
even every finger of his quietly dangling
hand expressed peace, expressed perfection, did

55
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:16.480
not search, did not imitate,
breathed softly in an unwithering calm, in

56
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:25.720
an unwithering light, an untouchable peace. Thus Gautama walked toward the town to

57
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.480
collect arms, and the two Samanas
recognized him solely by the perfection of his

58
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.600
calm, by the quietness of his
appearance, in which there was no searching,

59
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:43.040
no desire, no imitation, no
effort to be seen, only light

60
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.600
and peace. To day, we'll
hear the teachings from his mouth, said

61
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:55.480
Govinda. Sir Arthur did not answer. He felt little curiosity for the teachings.

62
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.800
He did not believe that they would
teach him anything new. But he

63
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.240
had, just as Govinda had heard
the contents of this Buddha's teachings again and

64
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:13.240
again, though these reports only represented
second or third hand information. But attentively

65
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.759
he looked at Gautama's head, his
shoulders, his feet, his quietly dangling

66
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.639
hand, and it seemed to him
as if every joint of every finger of

67
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.000
this hand was of these teachings,
spoke of, breathed, of inhaled,

68
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:36.759
the fragrance of glistened of the truth. This man, this Buddha, was

69
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:43.480
truthful down to the gesture of his
last finger. This man was holy.

70
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:49.800
Never before Siddhartha had venerated a person
so much, Never before he had loved

71
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:56.480
a person as much as this one. They both followed the Buddha until they

72
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.720
reached the town, and then returned
in silence, for they themselves intended to

73
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:06.319
abstain from food on this day.
They saw Gautama returning what he ate could

74
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:12.360
not even have satisfied a bird's appetite, And they saw him retiring into the

75
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.399
shade of the mango trees. But
in the evening, when the heat cooled

76
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:23.000
down and everyone in the camp started
to bustle about and gathered around, they

77
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:29.079
heard the Buddha teaching. They heard
his voice, and it was also perfected,

78
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:35.920
was of perfect calmness, was full
of peace. Gautama taught the teachings

79
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.839
of suffering, of the origin of
suffering, of the way to relieve suffering.

80
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:50.839
Calmly and clearly. His quiet speech
flowed on suffering. Was life full

81
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:56.759
of suffering, was the world.
But salvation from suffering had been found.

82
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:03.120
Salvation was obtained by him who would
walk the path of the Buddha. With

83
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.279
a soft yet firm voice. The
Exalted One spoke, taught the four main

84
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:16.600
doctrines, taught the eightfold path.
Patiently, he went the usual path of

85
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.720
the teachings, of the examples of
the repetitions. Brightly and quietly, his

86
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.839
voice hovered over the listeners like a
light, like a starry night. When

87
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:35.279
the Buddha Knight had already fallen ended
his speech. Men near pilgrim stepped forward

88
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.840
and asked to be accepted into the
community, sought refuge in the teachings,

89
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:48.080
and Gautama accepted them by saying,
you have heard the teachings. Well it

90
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.919
has come to you. Well thust
join us and walk in holiness to put

91
00:08:52.919 --> 00:09:00.440
an end to all suffering. Behold. Then Govinda, the shy one,

92
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.840
also stepped forward and spoke, I
also take my refuge in the Exalted One

93
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.480
and his teachings, And he asked
to be accepted into the community of the

94
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.600
disciples, and was accepted. Right
afterwards, when the Buddha had retired for

95
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:24.440
the night, Govinda turned to Siddhartha
and spoke eagerly, Siddhartha, it is

96
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.840
not my place to scold you.
We have both heard the Exalted One,

97
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.159
and we have both perceived the teachings. Govinda has heard the teachings, he

98
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:39.080
has taken refuge in it. But
you, my honored friend, don't you

99
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.840
also want to walk the path of
salvation? Would you want to hesitate?

100
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.559
Do you want to wait any longer? Said Arthur, awakened as if he

101
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.639
had been asleep when he heard Govinda's
words for a long time. He looked

102
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:01.360
into Govinda's face. Then he spoke
quietly in a voice without mockery. Govinda,

103
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.759
my friend, Now you have taken
this step. Now you have chosen

104
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.840
this path always, Oh Govinda,
you've been my friend. You've always walked

105
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:18.039
one step behind me. Often I
have thought, won't Govinda for once also

106
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.080
take a step by himself without me
out of his own soul. Behold,

107
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:31.240
now you've turned into a man and
are choosing your path for yourself. I

108
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.440
wish that you would go it up
to its end, oh, my friend,

109
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.159
that you shall find salvation. Govinda, not completely understanding it yet,

110
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.480
repeated his question in an impatient tone. Speak up, I beg you,

111
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.600
my dear, tell me, since
it could not be any other way,

112
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.879
that you, also, my learned
friend, will take your refuse with the

113
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.440
exalted Buddha said. Arthur placed his
hand on Vinda's shoulder. You failed to

114
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.279
hear my good wish for you,
oh Govinda, I am repeating it.

115
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.480
I wish that you would go this
path up to its end, that you

116
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:18.399
shall find salvation. In this moment, Govinda realized that his friend had left

117
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.519
him, and he started to weep. Siddhartha, he exclaimed, lamentingly,

118
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.759
said Arthur kindly spoke to him,
don't forget, Govinda, that you are

119
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.399
now one of the Samanas of the
Buddha. You have renounced your home and

120
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.240
your parents, renounced your birth and
possessions, renounced your free will, renounced

121
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:48.320
all friendship. This is what the
teachings require, This is what the Exalted

122
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.200
One wants, This is what you
wanted for yourself. Tomorrow, oh Govinda,

123
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.799
I'll leave you for a long time. The friends continued walking in the

124
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.559
grove for a long time. They
lay there and found no sleep, and

125
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.679
over and over again. Govinda urged
his friend he should tell him why he

126
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:18.960
would not want to seek refuge in
Gattama's teachings. What fault he would find

127
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.399
in these teachings? But said Arthur
turned him away every time and said,

128
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.279
be content, Govinda, very good
are the teachings of the Exalted One?

129
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.240
How could I find a fault in
them? Very early in the morning,

130
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.360
a follower of Buddha, one of
his oldest monks, went through the garden

131
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.600
and called all those to him who
had, as novices taken their refuge in

132
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.320
the teachings, to dress them up
in the yellow robe, and to instruct

133
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:56.320
them in the first teachings and duties
of their position. Then Govinda broke loose,

134
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:03.759
embraced once again his childhood friend,
and left with the novices. But

135
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.440
sid Arthur walked through the grove lost
in thought. Then he happened to meet

136
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:15.480
Gautama, the Exalted One, And
when he greeted him with respect, and

137
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:20.919
the Buddha's glance was so full of
kindness and calm, the young man summoned

138
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.720
his courage and asked the Venerable One
for the permission to talk to him.

139
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:31.000
Silently, the Exalted One nodded his
approval. Quoth said Arthur, yesterday,

140
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.039
oh Exalted One, I had been
privileged to hear your wondrous teachings together with

141
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.759
my friend. I had come from
Afar to hear your teachings. And now

142
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.919
my friend is going to stay with
your people. He has taken his refuge

143
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:52.000
with you. But I will again
start on my pilgrimage as you please.

144
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.799
The veneraal Woe spoke politely. Too
bold is my speech, said Arthur,

145
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:05.200
continued, but I do not want
to leave the Exalted One without having honestly

146
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.840
told him my thoughts. Does it
please the Venerable One to listen to me

147
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:16.639
for one moment longer. Silently,
the Buddha nodded his approval. Quoth said

148
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.879
Arthur, One thing, oh most
venerable one, I have admired in your

149
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.720
teaching. Most of all, everything
in your teachings is perfectly clear, is

150
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.879
proven. You are presenting the world
as a perfect chain, a chain which

151
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:39.360
is never and nowhere broken, an
eternal chain, the links of which are

152
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:46.840
causes and effects. Never before this
has been seen so clearly, Never before

153
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:54.120
this has been presented so irrefutably.
Truly, the heart of every Brahman has

154
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.720
to be stronger with love once he
has seen the world through your teachings,

155
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:05.039
perfectly connect, without gaps, clear
as a crystal, not depending on chance,

156
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.559
not depending on gods, whether it
may be good or bad, whether

157
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.120
living according to it would be suffering
or joy. I do not wish to

158
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.639
discuss. Possibly this is not essential, but the uniformity of the world,

159
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.240
That everything which happens is connected,
That the great and the small things are

160
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.399
all encompassed by the same forces of
time, by the same law of causes,

161
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:39.840
of coming into being and of dying. This is what shines brightly out

162
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:46.279
of your exalted teachings, Oh perfected
one, But according to your very own

163
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:54.320
teachings, This unity and necessary sequence
of all things is nevertheless broken in one

164
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:00.879
place through a small gap. This
world of unity is invaded by some alien,

165
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.120
something new, something which had not
been there before, and which cannot

166
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:11.679
be demonstrated and cannot be proven.
These are your teachings of overcoming the world

167
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:18.480
of salvation, that with this small
gap, with this small breach, the

168
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:26.200
entire eternal and uniform law of the
world is breaking apart again and becomes void.

169
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:33.120
Please forgive me for expressing the subjection
quietly. Gautama had listened to him

170
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.799
unmoved. Now he spoke the perfected
one with his kind, with his polite

171
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:44.679
and clear voice. You've heard the
teachings, oh son of a Brahman,

172
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.039
and good for you that you've thought
about it thus deeply. You've found a

173
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:55.080
gap in it, an error.
You should think about this further. But

174
00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.159
be warned, oh seeker of knowledge, of the thicket of opinions. Of

175
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.359
arguing about words, there is nothing
to opinions. They may be beautiful or

176
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.680
ugly, smart or foolish. Everyone
can support them or discard them. But

177
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.960
the teachings you've heard from me are
no opinion, and their goal is not

178
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.039
to explain the world to those who
seek knowledge. They have a different goal.

179
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:30.559
Their goal is salvation from suffering.
This is what Gautama teaches nothing else.

180
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.839
I wish that you, oh Exalted
One, would not be angry with

181
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:40.400
me, said the young man.
I have not spoken to you like this

182
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.240
to argue with you, to argue
about words. You are truly right.

183
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.079
There is little two opinions. But
let me say this one more thing.

184
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:55.079
I have not doubted in you for
a single moment. I have not doubted

185
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:59.119
for a single moment that you are
Buddha, that you have reached the goal,

186
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.079
the highest goal towards which so many
thousands of Brahmans and the sons of

187
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.720
Brahmans are on their way. You
have found salvation from death. It has

188
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.680
come to you in the course of
your own search, on your own path,

189
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:21.079
through thoughts, through meditation, through
realizations, through enlightenment. It has

190
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:26.200
not come to you by means of
teachings. And thus is my thought,

191
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:32.799
Oh Exalted One, nobody will obtain
salvation by means of teachings. You will

192
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.359
not be able to convey and say
to anybody, Oh venerable One, in

193
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.039
words and through teachings, what has
happened to you in the hour of enlightenment.

194
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:48.400
The teachings of the Enlightened Buddha contain
much. It teaches many to live

195
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:53.160
righteously, to avoid evil. But
there is one thing that these so clear,

196
00:18:53.519 --> 00:19:00.599
these so venerable teachings do not contain. They do not contain the mystery

197
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:07.640
of what the Exalted One has experienced
for himself, he alone among hundreds of

198
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.039
thousands. This is what I have
thought and realized when I have heard the

199
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.000
teachings. This is why I am
continuing my travels, not to seek other

200
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:23.319
better teachings, for I know there
are none, but to depart from all

201
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.839
teachings and all teachers, and to
reach my goal by myself, or to

202
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.960
die. But often I'll think of
this day, oh Exalted One, and

203
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:41.799
of this hour when my eyes beheld
a holy man. The Buddha's eyes quietly

204
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:48.680
looked to the ground, quietly,
in perfect equanimity. His inscrutable face was

205
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:55.680
smiling. I wish the Venerable One
spoke slowly, that your thoughts shall not

206
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.279
be in error, that you shall
reach the goal. But tell me,

207
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.519
have you seen the multitude of my
samanas, my many brothers who have taken

208
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:10.720
refuge in the teachings, And do
you believe, oh stranger, oh Samana,

209
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.960
do you believe that it would be
better for them to abandon the teachings

210
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.920
and to return into the life of
the world and of desires. Far is

211
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:26.079
such a thought from my mind,
exclaimed said Arthur. I wish that they

212
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.599
shall stay with the teachings, that
they shall reach their goal. It is

213
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:36.559
not my place to judge another person's
life. Only for myself. For myself

214
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.599
alone, I must decide, I
must choose. I must refuse. Salvation

215
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:48.000
from the self is what we Samanas
search for, Oh exalted One. If

216
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.680
I merely were one of your disciples, Oh venerable One, I'd fear that

217
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.480
it might happen to me that only
seemingly, only deceptively, myself would be

218
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.079
calmed and be redeemed, but that
in truth it would live on and grow.

219
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.279
For then I had replaced myself with
the teachings, my duty to follow

220
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:15.720
you, my love for you and
the community of the monks. With half

221
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.880
of a smile, with an unwavering
openness and kindness, Gautama looked into the

222
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:27.880
stranger's eyes and bid him to leave
with a hardly noticeable gesture. You are

223
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:34.200
wise, oh Samana, the venerable
one spoke, You know how to talk

224
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:41.960
wisely, my friend, but be
aware of too much wisdom. The Buddha

225
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:47.680
turned away, and his glance and
half of a smile remained forever etched in

226
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:53.319
sad Arthur's memory. I have never
before seen such a person glance and smile,

227
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.319
sit and walk this way, he
thought. Truly, I wished to

228
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.720
be able to lance and smile,
sit and walk this way too, Thus

229
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:11.440
free, thus venerable, thus concealed, thus open, thus childlike and mysterious.

230
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:18.119
Truly, only a person who has
succeeded in reaching the innermost part of

231
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:25.839
his self would glance and walk this
way. Well, So I also will

232
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.880
seek to reach the innermost part of
myself. I saw a man, said

233
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:36.519
Arthur, thought, a single man
before whom I would have to lower my

234
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:41.279
glance. I do not want to
lower my glance before any other, not

235
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:48.759
before any other. No teachings will
entice me any more. Since this man's

236
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.599
teachings have not enticed me. I
am deprived by the Buddha, thought,

237
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:59.799
said Arthur. I am deprived,
and even more he has given to me.

238
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.680
He has deprived me of my friend, the one who had believed in

239
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.240
me and now believes in him,
who had been my shadow and is now

240
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:21.000
Gautama's shadow. But he has given
me Saddhartha myself. End of chapter three,
