Dhammapada Verse 324 Parijinna Brahmanaputta Vatthu-The Bound Elephant
Grand Canyon National Park
Arizona and Yosemite
Verse 324. The Bound Elephant
Hard to check the tusker Dhanapala,
in rut with temple running pungently,
bound, e’en a morsel he’ll not eat
for he recalls the elephant-forest longingly.
Explanation: The elephant, Dhanapala, deep
in rut and uncontrollable did not eat a morsel as he yearned for his native
forest and pined for his parents.
Dhammapada Verse 324
Parijinna Brahmanaputta VatthuDhanapalo nama kunjaro

being in captivity, eats not a morsel, yearning for his native forest (i.e.,
longing to look after his parents).
The Story of an Old Brahmin
While residing at the Veluvana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (324) of
this book, with reference to an old brahmin.Once, there lived in Savatthi an old brahmin who had eight lakhs in cash. He
had four sons; when each one of the sons got married, he gave one lakh to him.
Thus, he gave away four lakhs. Later, his wife died. His sons came to him and
looked after him very well; in fact, they were very loving and affectionate to
him. In course of time, somehow they coaxed him to give them the remaining four
lakhs. Thus, he was left practically penniless.First, he went to stay with his eldest son. After a few days, the
daughter-in-law said to him, “Did you give any extra hundred or thousand to
your eldest son? Don’t you know the way to the houses of your other sons?”
Hearing this, the old brahmin got very angry and he left the eldest son’s house
for the house of his second son. The same remarks were made by the wife of his
second son and the old man went to the house of his third son and finally to the
house of his fourth and youngest son. The same thing happened in the houses of
all his sons. Thus, the old man became helpless; then, taking a staff and a bowl
he went to the Buddha for protection and advice.At the monastery, the brahmin told the Buddha how his sons had treated him
and asked for his help. Then the Buddha gave him some verses to memorize and
instructed him to recite them wherever there was a large gathering of people.
The gist of the verses is this: “My four foolish sons are like ogres. They
call me ‘father, father’, but the words come only out of their mouths and not
from their hearts. They are deceitful and scheming. Taking the advice of their
wives they have driven me out of their houses. So, now I have got to be begging.
Those sons of mine are of less service to me than this staff of mine.” When
the old brahmin recited these verses, many people in the crowd, hearing him,
went wild with rage at his sons and some even threatened to kill them.At this, the sons became frightened and knelt down at the feet of their
father and asked for pardon. They also promised that starting from that day they
would look after their father properly and would respect, love and honour him.
Then, they took their father to their houses; they also warned their wives to
look after their father well or else they would be beaten to death. Each of the
sons gave a length of cloth and sent every day a food-tray. The brahmin became
healthier than before and soon put on some weight. He realized that he had been
showered with these benefits on account of the Buddha. So, he went to the Buddha
and humbly requested him to accept two food-trays out of the four he was
receiving every day from his sons. Then he instructed his sons to send two
food-trays to the Buddha.One day, the eldest son invited the Buddha to his house for alms-food. After
the meal, the Buddha gave a discourse on the benefits to be gained by looking
after one’s parents. Then he related to them the story of the elephant called
Dhanapala, who looked after his parents. Dhanapala when captured pined for the
parents who were left in the forest.Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 324: The elephant called Dhanapala, in severe
must and uncontrollable, being in captivity, eats not a morsel,
yearning for his native forest (i. e., longing to look after his
parents).
At the end of the discourse, the old brahmin as well as his four sons and
their wives attained Sotapatti Fruition.

Verse 323. The Right Vehicle To Nibbana

Explanation: Indeed, not be any means of transport can one
go to the place one has never been before, but by thoroughly taming
oneself, the tamed one can get to that place - Nibbana.
1. The tamed one: One, who having first controlled the senses, has later
developed Magga Insight. (The Commentary)
The Story of the Bhikkhu Who Had Been a Trainer of Elephants
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (323) of
this book, with reference to a bhikkhu who had previously been an elephant
trainer.
On one occasion, some bhikkhus saw an elephant trainer and his elephant on
the bank of the river Aciravati. As the trainer was finding it difficult to
control the elephant, one of the bhikkhus, who was an ex-elephant trainer, told
the other bhikkhus how it could be easily handled. The elephant trainer hearing
him did as told by the bhikkhu, and the elephant was quickly subdued. Back at
the monastery, the bhikkhus related the incident to the Buddha. The Buddha
called the ex-elephant trainer bhikkhu to him and said, “O vain bhikkhu,
who is yet far away from Magga and Phala ! You do not gain anything by taming
elephants. There is no one who can get to a place where one has never been
before (i.e.. Nibbana) by taming elephants; only one who has tamed himself can
get there.”
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
| Verse 323: Indeed, not by any means of transport (such as elephants and horses) can one go to the place one has never been before (i.e., Nibbana); but by thoroughly taming oneself, the tamed one can get to that place (i.e., Nibbana). SF Bay Area Aquariums

On Subduing Oneself
While residing at the Ghositarama monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (320),
(321) and (322) of this book, with reference to the patience and endurance
manifested by himself when abused by the hirelings of Magandiya, one of the
three queens of King Udena.Once, the father of Magandiya, being very much impressed by the personality
and looks of the Buddha, had offered his very beautiful daughter in marriage to
Gotama Buddha. But the Buddha refused his offer and said that he did not like to
touch such a thing which was full of filth and excreta, even with his feet. On
hearing this remark both Magandiya’s father and mother discerning the truth of
the remark attained Anagami Fruition. Magandiya, however, regarded the Buddha as
her arch enemy and was bent on having her revenge on him.Later, she became one of the three queens of King Udena. When Magandiya heard
that the Buddha had come to Kosambi, she hired some citizens and their servants
to abuse the Buddha when he entered the city on an alms-round. Those hirelings
followed the Buddha and abused him using such abusive words as ‘thief, fool,
camel, donkey, one bound for niraya’. Hearing those abusive words, the Venerable
Ananda pleaded with the Buddha to leave the town and go to another place. But
the Buddha refused and said, “In another town also we might be abused
and it is not feasible to move out every time one is abused. It is better to
solve a problem in the place where it arises. I am like an elephant in a
battlefield; like an elephant who withstands the arrows that come from all
quarters, I also will bear patiently the abuses that come from people without
morality.”Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 320: As an elephant in battlefield
withstands the arrow shot from a bow, so shall I endure abuse. Indeed,
many people are without morality.Verse 321: Only the trained (horses and elephants)
are led to gatherings of people; the King mounts only the trained
(horses and elephants). Noblest among men are the tamed, who endure
abuse.Verse 322: Mules, thoroughbred horses, horses from
Sindh, and great elephants are noble only when they are trained; but
one who has tamed himself (through Magga Insight) is far nobler.
At the end of the discourse, those who had abused the Buddha realized their
mistake and came to respect him; some of them attained Sotapatti Fruition.

The Story of the Disciples of Non-Buddhist Ascetics
While residing at the Nigrodarama monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (318)
and (319) of this book, with reference to some disciples of the Titthis
(non-Buddhist ascetics).The disciples of the Titthis did not want their children to mix with the
children of the followers of the Buddha. They often told their children,
“Do not go to the Jetavana monastery, do not pay obeisance to the bhikkhus
of the Sakyan clan.” On one occasion, while the Titthi boys were playing
with a Buddhist boy near the entrance to the Jetavana monastery, they felt very
thirsty. As the children of the disciples of the Titthis had been told by their
parents not to enter a Buddhist monastery, they asked the Buddhist boy to go to
the monastery and bring some water for them. The young Buddhist boy went to pay
obeisance to the Buddha after he had had a drink of water, and told the Buddha
about his friends who were forbidden by their parents to enter a Buddhist
monastery. The Buddha then told the boy to tell the non-Buddhist boys to come
and have water at the monastery. When those boys came, the Buddha gave them a
discourse to suit their various dispositions. As a result, those boys became
established in faith in the Three Gems i.e., the Buddha, the Dhamma and the
Samgha.When the boys went home, they talked about their visit to the Jetavana
monastery and about the Buddha teaching them the Three Gems. The parents of the
boys, being ignorant, cried, “Our sons have been disloyal to our faith,
they have been ruined,” etc. Some intelligent neighbours advised the
wailing parents to stop weeping and to send their sons to the Buddha. Somehow,
they agreed and the boys as well as their parents went to the Buddha.The Buddha knowing why they had come spoke to them in verse as
follows:
Verse 318: Beings who imagine wrong in what is not
wrong, who do not see wrong in what is wrong, and who hold wrong views
go to a lower plane of existence (duggati).Verse 319: Beings who know what is wrong as wrong.
who know what is right as right, and who hold right views go to a
happy plane of existence (suggati).
At the end of the discourse all those people came to be established in faith
in the Three Gems, and after listening to the Buddha’s further discourses, they
subsequently attained Sotapatti Fruition.End of Chapter Twenty-Two: Niraya

later on. It is better to do a good deed as one does not have to repent for
having done it.
The Story of a Woman of Jealous Disposition
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (314) of
this book, with reference to a woman who was by nature very jealous.Once, a woman with a very strong sense of jealousy lived with her husband in
Savatthi. She found that her husband was having an affair with her maid. So one
day, she tied up the girl with strong ropes, cut off her ears and nose, and shut
her up in a room. After doing that, she asked her husband to accompany her to
the Jetavana monastery. Soon after they left, some relatives of the maid arrived
at their house and found the maid tied up and locked up in a room. They broke
into the room, untied her and took her to the monastery. They arrived at the
monastery while the Buddha was expounding the Dhamma. The girl related to the
Buddha what her mistress had done to her, how she had been beaten, and how her
nose and ears had been cut off. She stood in the midst of the crowd for all to
see how she had been mistreated. So the Buddha said, “Do no evil,
thinking that people will not know about it. An evil deed done in secret, when
discovered, will bring much pain and sorrow; but a good deed may be done
secretly, for it can only bring happiness and not sorrow.”Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 314: It is better not to do an evil deed; an
evil deed torments one later on. It is better to do a good deed as one
does not have to repent for having done it.
At the end of the discourse the couple attained Sotapatti Fruition.

khanatita hi socanti
nirayamhi samappita.Verse 315: As a border town is guarded both inside and outside, so guard
yourself. Let not the right moment go by for those who miss this moment come to
grief when they fall into niraya.
1. evam gopetha attanam: so guard yourself; i.e., to guard the internal as
well as the external senses. The six internal senses (sense bases) are eye, ear,
nose, tongue, body and mind; the six external senses (sense objects) are visible
object, sound, odour, taste, touch and idea.
The Story of Many Bhikkhus
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (315) of
this book, with reference to a group of bhikkhus who spent the vassa in a border
town.In the first month of their stay in that border town, the bhikkhus were well
provided and well looked after by the townsfolk. During the next month the town
was plundered by some robbers and some people were taken away as hostages. The
people of the town, therefore, had to rehabilitate their town and reinforce
fortifications. Thus, they were unable to look to the needs of the bhikkhus as
much as they would like to and the bhikkhus had to fend for themselves. At the
end of the vassa, those bhikkhus came to pay homage to the Buddha at the
Jetavana monastery in Savatthi. On learning about the hardships they had
undergone during the vassa, the Buddha said to them “Bhikkhus, do not
keep thinking about this or anything else; it is always difficult to have a
carefree, effortless living. Just as the townsfolk guard their town, so also, a
bhikkhu should be on guard and keep his mind steadfastly on his body.”Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 315: As a border town is guarded both inside and
outside, so guard yourself. Let not the right moment go by for those
who miss this moment come to grief when they fall into niraya.
At the end of the discourse those bhikkhus attained arahatship.

see danger in what is dangerous, and who hold wrong views go to a lower plane of
existence (duggati).
The Story of the Nigantha Ascetics
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (316) and
(317) of this book, with reference to Nigantha ascetics, who covered only the
front part of their bodies.One day, some Niganthas went on an alms-round with their bowls covered with a
piece of cloth. Some bhikkhus seeing them commented, “These Nigantha
ascetics who cover the front part of the body are more respectable compared to
those Acelaka ascetics who go about without wearing anything.” Hearing this
comment, those ascetics retorted, “Yes, indeed, we do cover up our front
part (by covering our bowls); but we cover it up not out of shame in going
naked. We only cover up our bowls to keep away dust from our food, for even dust
contains life in it.”When the bhikkhus reported what the Nigantha ascetics said, the Buddha
replied, “Bhikkhus, those ascetics who go about covering only the front
part of their bodies are not ashamed of what they should be ashamed of, but they
are ashamed of what they should not be ashamed of; because of their wrong view
they would only go to bad destinations.”Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 316: Those beings who are ashamed of what
should not be ashamed of, who are not ashamed of what should be
ashamed of, and who hold wrong views go to a lower plane of existence
(duggati).Verse 317: Those beings who see danger in what is
not dangerous, who do not see danger in what is dangerous, and who
hold wrong views go to a lower plane of existence (duggati).
At the end of the discourse many Nigantha ascetics became frightened and
joined the Buddhist Order.
Seeing Stars: The Studio Tours
100 Universal City Plaza,
Universal City, CA./ (818) 508-9600
Universal is unique among the various
Hollywood studio tours because their tour is only one part of a much larger
theme park experience.I’ll review Universal Studios Hollywood
in general on another page. (To read it, click
here.) This article will deal solely with the studio tour.In studio lingo, the “front lot” is where
you’ll find sound stages and offices, while the “back lot” is
where you’ll find the large outdoor sets that the public tends to think
of when they hear the words “movie studio”. These big back lots
are an endangered species in these days of on-location filming. Universal
Studios and Warner Bros are the only two studios which still have large
“back lots” filled with colorful sets.As such, their tours tend to be more interesting
than those at the other studios (e.g. Sony & Paramount, where what
visitors mostly see are the exteriors of sound stages). And because of
the large size of their back lots, both Warner Bros and Universal use trams
in their tour (while Sony and Paramount offer walking-only tours.) The
good side of this is that is the trams save visitors a good deal of walking.
The drawback is that a tram-based tour can seem more removed from the reality
of movie-making, and less personal than a walking tour.Warner Bros manages
to get around this potential drawback in two ways. First, they use tiny,
golf cart-sized vehicles, which limit the size of the tour group to an
intimate number of visitors - so that guests can easily ask questions of
their tour guide. Second, they allow visitors to get off the tram and explore
the “front lot” on foot, taking a peak inside places like the
wardrobe and prop departments, and seeing inside the sound stages. Guests
are even allowed to visit the current sets on foot at WB. The Universal
tour trams, on the other hand, are huge, noisy vehicles, which hold
hundreds of passengers on each trip. And, for better or worse, guests are
stuck on those trams for the entire 45-minute tour. The trams slow down
to let guests get a good look at the various streets and sets, but they
never stop and let people explore them on foot. (Ages ago, when the studio
learned that guests’ main wish was to visit the sets on foot, the studio’s
reaction was to build a few fake “streets” up in the amusement
area, filled with shops and restaurants, where guests could spend money.
They are still there today: a French street, a Western street, etc.)On the other hand, Universal spiced up their
tour with something that Warner Bros doesn’t try to offer: special effects
and unique “rides” within the tram ride. Not very authentic,
perhaps, but still entertaining. Like Universal Studios Hollywood itself,
the tram tour is part authentic studio tour and part show-biz razzle dazzle.
How you will react to this depends upon what you’re looking for. If you
want your studio tour spiced up with jumping mechanical sharks and simulated
earthquakes, Universal is the place to be. If you’re looking for authenticity
and Hollywood history, Warner Bros is the best bet.(However, Universal is now offering a new VIP
tour, which provides an experience similar to Warners, and offers a
much more intimate look at the movie-making side of the studio - albeit
at a high price. More about that later.)But enough with comparisons… Let’s get to the tour
itself.

Even though much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as West Los Angeles and the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures.
As a district within the Los Angeles city limits, Hollywood does not
have its own municipal government. There was an official, appointed by
the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, who served as an honorary “Mayor of Hollywood” for ceremonial purposes only. Johnny Grant held this position from 1980 until his death on January 9, 2008.[3] No replacement for Grant has been named.http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/photo.cfm?id=1051&park=1
