NEW YORK, July 27.-The
bomb squad, reinforced by
scores of detectives from police
headquarters and private agen-
cies, today was searching for
the person who attempted to
blow up the Clark street tun-
mel of the PETERBOROUGH 7th
Ave. subway line under the
East river by placing an 49,
inch bomb on the tracks.

officials and workers who had
threatened to strike today, but
finally agreed to a postponement.
Examination of the bomb today
showed that at least one train
had rolled over its percussion cap,
and that a defect in the cap saved
hundreds of passengers from be-
ing blown to atoms or drowned
in the deluge which would follow
the destruction of the tunnel. The
catastrophe would have extended,
it is believed to more than one
train.

gods, but the Way did not lie in
prayer or sacrifice to them; the Way
concerned only the soul in relation
to man.
Nor was the soul immortal; 1t
might have many lives, in the sense
OF the rebirth of many men; yet the
goal was not the everlasting exist
ence of the self, but its complete an
inhalation. Not to be reborn-that
was the supreme boon.
What, then, did Buddha teach?
Here is his First Sermon"
"These two extremes, o monks,
are not to be practiced by one who
has gone forth from the world. What
are the two? That conjoined with
passions, low, vulgar. common, ig-
noble and useless; and that con-
joined with self torture, painful,
ignoble and useless. Avoiding these
two extremes the Tathagata (the
Buddha) has gained the knowledge
of the Middle Way, which gives sight
and knowledge and tends to calm, to
insight, enlightment, Nirvana. f.
ed Now this. o monks, is the
noble truth of pain:--birth is pain
full, old age is painful, sickness is
painful, death is painful, sorrow,
lamentation, detection and despair
are painful. Contact with unpleas-
ant things is painful, not getting
what one wishes is painful"
"(2) Now this, o monks, is the
noble truth of the cause of PAIN

combined with pleasure and lust,

UT one day the thought came
K to Buddha that self-mortifi-
N cation was not the way. Per-
haps he was unusually hungry on
that day or some memory of love-
illness had stirred within him.
"By this severity I do not attain
Superhuman, truly noble knowledge
and insight" What was the source
of human sorrow, suffering, sickness,
old age and death?
A vision came to him of the in
finite succession Of births and deaths
in the stream of life; he saw every
death compensated with a birth,
and every mortal peace balanced
with new desire, new grief and new
pain.
Thus with mind concentrated,
purified, cleanSed 1 directed nv
mind to the passing away and re-
birth, of beings.
with divine, purified, SUPER
human vision I saw beings passing
away and being reborn, low and
high, Of good and bad color, in
happy or miserablye existences, ac-
Cording to their karna."
It was the vision of this ridiculous
succession of deaths and births that
made Buddha scorn life.
Birth, he said to himself, is the
orignin of all evil. And yet birth
continues, endlessly, aimlessly, for
ever replenishing the stream of hui
man sorrow. If birth could be
stopped Here it was that the
legend Of Buddiaa helped to mould
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-11-18

to invite him to spend the day in
his old home. Buddha went, and
according to the legend performed
many miracles in the paternal man
sion.
He went also to see his wife, who
had mourned him and been faithful
to him during his years of fasting
and preaching. When she saw him
she clasped his ankles, placed his
feet about her head and reverenced
him as a god. Then King Suddho-
dana told Buddha of her great love:
Lord, my daughter dn-law) when
she heard that you were wearing
yellow robes, put on yellow robes;
when she heard of you having one
meal day, herself took one meal;
when she knew that you had given
up a large bed she lay on a narrow
couch; and when she knew that you
had given up garlands and scents,
she gave them up"

RI UDDHA blessed her, and
4 r went his way. His son, Ra-
- hula, came to him now and
loved him; pleasant is your shadow,
ascetic," he said; and the Buddha,
though Rahula'S mother had hoped
to see him king, ordained him into
the Buddhist Order.
Asked to be present at the con-
secration of his half brother Nanda
as heir-apparent to the realm, he
let Nanda hold his bowl; whereupon
Nanda, strangely inspired, followed
him and joined the Order, abandon
ing a kingdom.
When Suddhodana heard of Ra-
hula's ordination he was sad, and
coming to Buddha asked a boon,
saying:
"When che Lord abandoned the
world, it was no small pain to me;
so when Nanda, and even more so
with Rahula.

the skin, through the hide. the flesh,
the sinew, the bone, the marrow.
Grant, Lord, that thy noble ones
may not confer the ordination on a
son without the permission of his
father and mother"
Buddha consented, and made such
permission a prerequisite of all flu
ture ordination. 1t is human touch
that reconciles us somewhat to his
abandonment of wife and home; but
it is regrettable that so many re-
ligions begin with a rejection of the
family.

But the law of karma brings new
births, apparently, forever, every in
justice done must be atoned for in
some new life.
If a man could live a life of per-
feet justice, of unvarying patience
and kindness to all; if he could tie
his thought to eternal things, not
binding his heart to those that be-
gin and pass away-then, perhaps,
he would be spared rebirth, and
the fountain of evil would run dry.
If one could still all desire for
ones self and seek only to do good,
individuality, that last deluSion of
mankind, might be overcome and
the soul be merged at last with UNI
conscious inf1nity.
What peace there would be in the
heart that cleansed itself of every
personal desire! Happiness is neither
here, as paganiSm thinks, nor here
after, as most religions think; only
peace is possible, only the cool
quietude of craving ended, only Mir
vana.
So Buddha thought; and, leaving
his solitary aScetic life, he went

JAPAN PLANS ECONOMY
IN CORONATION COST

TOKYO, Aug. Interpretations
are under way for the great cele.
monies to be held in Kyoto il
November of 1928 when Hirohito
the young successor of the late
Emperor Taisho, will be formally
crowned as the ruler of Japan.
Committees are being appoint.
ed to take charge of the event
and accountants are figuring out o
coronation budget of several mil.
lion yen which will be presented
to the Diet that eonyenes next
spring.
Unlike the coronation ceremonies
for Emperor Taisho, no special
foreign ENJOYS will come to Japan
for the Hirohito accession. The
Japanese government has request
ed the various nations not to send
extraordinary representatives, as
in the past, and it is expected that
the ambassadors and ministers sta
toned in Tokyo will be delegated
to attend in the extraordinary ca
pacity.
The request that special repre-
sentatiyes be dispensed with is
said have been due to Japan's
wish to economize.
The officials in charge intend
to exert every effort to simplify
the ceremonies in order that the
least possible cost may be in
Cured. But even with the Mt
most economy, it is feared that
the Hirohito coronation expenses
will be greater than those of the
Emperor Taisho which were ap
proximately 1O,000,000 yen, be
cause general costs have increas-
ed.
A number of special carriages
are to be built and blooded horses
imported for the occasion. The
music to be played during the
various ceremonies is to be espe-
cially composed by both Japa-
nese and European musicians. The
music to be played at the grand
banquet following the coronation
will be purely Japanese, the or
chestra using flutes, harps, drums.
gongs and other native instrd-
ments. At a subsequent banquet
to be held later in the evening,
the army and navy bands will
play Western music exclusively.
