1)Briefly describe the Buddha. How does his appearance testify to the fact that he has reached total peace?

2)why do you think Siddartha is happy for Govinda, but refuses to tell his friend why he doesn't join as one of the Buddhas followers?

3)What kind of salvation is the Buddha offering his followers through his teachings? Why does Siddartha question the idea of salvation as part of the Buddhas lessons?

4)Many critics believe that Buddha breaks away from his peacful serenity when he says to Siddartha:
"you are clever, O samana... You can speak cleverly my friend. Beware of too much cleverness!"
support the idea that siddhartha is able to pierce the Buddha's peaceful countenace.

5)Support the following statement: Siddartha has learned the third noble truths: Suffering ends when desire ends
