Tips

culture

席达瑟 transliterates the Sanskrit Siddhārtha — the given name of Gautama Buddha (悉达多·乔达摩 / 释迦牟尼). The variant 悉达多 (Xīdáduō) is the more common Buddhist transliteration in Chinese; 席达瑟 typically renders the title of Hermann Hesse's 1922 novel 《席达瑟》 (Siddhartha), a Western literary work loosely inspired by the Buddha's life.
