First he spends time with a group of ascetics called Samanas. For a while he embraces their doctrine and rejects all worldly goods. When he hears about a man called Gotama the Buddha he leaves the Samanas. However Buddhist teaching disappoints him and he realizes that self-discovery must come from his own experiences. He rejects the spiritual life, takes a lover and becomes a rich merchant. But after some years, dissatisfied with materialism, he takes off again in search of the spiritual peace he longs for.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47845853921438,"sku":"TLD-9781529024043","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529024043.jpg?v=1781222967","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529024043","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
