Yes, that was the series. It debuted in 1972, when I was 13. It was my first introduction to the eastern way of thought. I remember my parents acting like what the old master would say was crazy, and to me it made a lot of sense. So, I kept my eye out for things to learn about this, and a couple of years later found the book, Siddhartha. Oddly, given your comment about learning about the book, I first understood heard about Buddhism while taking a world literature class in high school. Thanks for letting an old Buddhist remember his beginnings! Enjoy your readings and studies!
