Great is Buddha
Great is Buddha
Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, a Japanese animation producer, created an animation title "Porco Rosso" in 1992.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porco_Rosso
The story extended around the Adriatic Sea gives pleasuring feeling, but it has an extraordinarily impressive scene where a myriad of fallen pilots on their planes of the WWI era are ascending to Heaven in lines, to one direction high in the blue sky.
However this animation work was released in Japan under the title "Crimson Pig," since the hero pilot Porco looks like a pig to any audience.
So, I recalled one phrase of a song: "He's so hard to see!"
Anyway, the Mediterranean is far enough to look romantic from Japan, though I don't know if the sea could be sensed from Jerusalem even 2000 years ago.
SECTION I: An American Nursery Rhyme
'There was a little girl'
There was a little girl,
And she had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horrid.
One day she went upstairs,
When her parents, unawares,
In the kitchen were occupied with meals,
And she stood upon her head
In her little trundle-bed,
And then began hooraying with her heels.
...

Note: They say that this is a popular poem as having been taken into Mother Goose, since the little, happy girl is going to be spanked by her mother who thought that boys were playing at war at the upstairs.
SECTION II: THE BUDDHA
In my rough idea about (the) Buddha it is that he was a member of the East Asian race group.
Buddha must have looked more like a Japanese than, for an example, an Iranian, which is why Tibet, Mongolia, Sri lanka, Burama, Thailand, and other Eastern Asia regions honestly observe Buddhism.
However, ancient India had three major racial groups: the first one who belongs to Aryan races coming down from the north, the second one originally living in the Indian sub-continent like Dravidians, and the last who belongs to the East Asia racial group.
At least, it must not have been a simple world dominated by a single culture.
What I want to say is that it must not have been a simple situation for any philosopher to excel in his wisdom over others.
Yet, one of the most striking aspects in Buddha's path for truth is that excellence in wisdom and insight can be hated, abused, or attacked by demons and the Devil.
Without a help from Almighty God, Buddha faced those evil challenges to eventually conquer them, which is the greatest performance ever achieved by a man all alone.
Compared with Buddha, other holy saints who have ever appeared in the west of India are just petitioners for holy helpers from Heaven.
Great is the Buddha; the Buddha is the only great independent man; and everybody should confess that Great is Buddha; and Buddha is the only great independent man.
NOTE: The Buddha originally means the only person Gotama Siddhattha, and hence he is called simply "(O-)Shaka (-sama)" or "Budda" in Japanese.
