Ah! This sheds light upon the time when the Buddha
was attacked by a raging pachyderm sent by his
jealous, murderous cousin. The story goes that as the
crazed elephant approached, the Buddha showed no fear.
He raised his hand, held it out towards the beast,
and radiated loving-kindness. The elephant then
stopped in its tracks, kneeled, and the Buddha petted
the creature.
I now wonder if the Buddha did not have chile paste on
his hand, which brought the animal to its knees, and
the Buddha - still showing his compassion - was wiping
the tears from the elephant.
Hmmm.
Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
