Greeting /lit/izens
I come to you today with an urgent plea for advice.
I am setting forth in a couple of weeks towards India and would like to take with me Marcus Aurelius' Meditations as a companion book,
which of the many translations and publications is considered the best by you fine gents?
Definitely Gregory Hays
Most recent
why would you take that to india? are you going to an ashram to find yourself, but need someone else to tell you how to live?

shouldnt you take a copy of the dhammarammadingdong or siddhartha instead of ancient pizza philosophy?
>>9746276
Get Pierre Hadot "The Inner Citadel" as a companion book, it is a really deep explanation
>>9746284
I remember seeing a comparison between that one and an older translation which made it look very simplistic and indescriptive
>>9746286
We are all one inside the harmony of the universe
>>9746364
I will also take a copy of the Mahabharata with me although that is unrelated
>>9746369
I don't read chinese
>>9746284
I want to read the actual text before I go to elaborations and interpretations

>We are all one inside the harmony of the universe
But why learn about stoicism when you're in India? Learn about Hinduism since you're going nigga, shit's interesting.
>>9747022

>>9746276
stoics are cucks
read the prince instead

I flew into there to get to some tiny village in the amazon, was pretty cool

thats what i was referring to m8 - the ceremonies made you want to take a trip to india, or you meet people who had gone to india in the jungle?
i went to iquitos a few years ago and also have a long trip to india planned...
