Dear Journal,
For a while, my thoughts have been with the Brahmin, Siddhartha. What has he done with his wisdom in age? I have heard from Govinda, that even at a young age, he was always learning about the gods and making sacrifices. In his youth he could think and meditate, he was a Samana. He and Govinda found me and heard my teachings, but he did not stay with us. He told me his reasons for leaving were because he did not require a teacher, but I am worried the influences of the city will not let him reach his goals.
I got wind of a man in the City who is a merchant now, but was once a wanderer. He began being a businessman, but he treated it as thought it was a game. Now, the riches have taken over him, and he has turned into a greedy man, gambling his life away. He is not living the Brahmin life anymore. He is eating meat, drinking wine, and involving himself with a woman. I know he has his old ways still in him, but I don’t know how I can help him get on the right. I will need to think some more, and make a plan. For I am the Buddha, I must have a plan.
