Photography in San Francisco

Verse 320. The Buddha’s Endurance

Many folks are ill-behaved
but I shall endure abuse
as elephant in battle
arrows shot from a bow.

Explanation: I will endure the words of the unvirtuous, who
make statements that go beyond the limits of decency. This is just
as the elephant that endures arrows in battle.

Verse 321. The Disciplined Animal

The tusker tamed they lead in crowds,
the king he mounts the tamed,
noblest of humans are the tamed
who can endure abuse.

Explanation: It is the disciplined animal (elephant or horse)
that is led to a gathering. The king mounts a disciplined horse. Among
men the disciplined one is the greatest. He has endured the harsh
words of the people.

Verse 322. The Most Disciplined Animal

Excellent are mules when tamed
and thoroughbred from Sindh,
noble the elephant of state,
better still one tamed of self.

Explanation: When well trained, mules are useful. Sindu thoroughbreds
are outstanding among horses. Of great elephants those of the Kunjara
breed are the greatest. But, of all, the best is the person who has
trained himself.


Dhammapada Verses 320, 321 and 322
Attadanta Vatthu

Aham nagova sangame
capato patitam saram
ativakyam titikkhissam
dussilo hi bahujjano.

Dantam nayanti samitim
dantam raja’ bhiruhati
danto settho manussesu
yo’ tivakyam titikkhati.

Varamassatara danta
ajaniya ca sindhava
kunjara ca mahanaga
attadanto tato varam.

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.


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.

This was an HDR time-lapse from Twin Peaks. It
was a glorious moment because mother nature was behaving, unlike the
last 2 early morning efforts where I was too fogged in. I was also
shooting with my new Nikon D700 and a new 14-24mm ultrawide which is
just a great combo since the D700 is a full frame camera!

of self-guided walks throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area. If you
came to San Francisco with the intent to just walk, you’d have days of
discovery and enjoyment. Unlike hot climates where summer heat makes
walking prohibitive . . . or rainy climes where duckies and mud might be
the norm . . . San Francisco’s weather is an ideal blend of clear days
and subsequent, cooling fog.

the city with its diverse colors, flavors and character. Although the
precise delineations can be hazy, the ethnic and demographic
distinctions are often vivid . . . between the Mission and the Marina,
between the Outer Sunset and North Beach.

We’re neither very interested nor typically emotional over firework displays, but last night’s Golden Gate Bridge 75th anniversary
fiery finale changed everything. It was pretty damn spectacular.
Starting out with a shower of sparks leaping from the the bridge, the
fireworks show blew up from there, gloriously. Check it out:

competitions take place throughout the year in San Francisco. Some
events, like Bay to Breakers, attract hundreds of thousands of
participants and spectators. Others, like the St. Stupid’s Day Parade or
the Bring Your Own Big Wheel race, are often an accidental encounter
for tourists or newcomers who don’t know about these annual San
Francisco traditions.
