Indian Epics

Source:  Clear Vision “ Watch where you going!” I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was very angry. I did hear something crash. I know he didn’t mean any harm by it. Not a lot of people had disabilities in this day and age, let alone blind like me. The government had nearly eradicated every possible element. I was apart of the older generation and my parents didn’t see the need to be a “ government guinea pig’. I had never had eyesight, but I can tell when a light is on. Now that I am in my thirties I well passed the age to receive the cure-all shot. I still had hope that I would see the sunset. I would one-day experience color. I settled into my apartment, music and audible books were my preferred choice of entertainment. It was a little hard to paint a picture of some of the things that they said because I had never seen them but I love it when they talked about textures which is how I usually view the world. I was listening to an audible book and I heard an ad ...

I think I can use part B to make a story of how a king goes to having all these riches and even though he isn’t indulgent he still loses everything, similar to the story of Job. I could go into detail of all his riches especially with the way they describe the chariot. I can also do a story of an old man looking back over his life and instead of being sad that he is aging being happy that he got to live a long full life. The story Eager to Know the Great Truths would be a great way to add to how he became a monk. I think the story set up would be similar to someone finding these stories in a library and attempting to become a monk. I think I could start with the person that wants to become a monk with becoming a hermit. I think I could possibly combine my two ideas and have a king that gives up his riches to be a monk because of some stories that he read in the library. I think the primary focus would be the king talking to his advisors and then giving up his riches. I could then do a ...

I read the Life of Buddha by Andre Ferdinand Herold. In Maya’s dream, I see another elephant mentioned. I wonder if I could compile all the elephant story elements and make one massive elephant story that has a centralized theme. Or I could take the story from the elephants perspective and the importance of bringing the dream to Maya. It would be similar tot he Alice in Wonderland bunny that always had the clock and was running in order to get to the party on time. I could also do a story from the dream interpreters perspective. I think instead of the story being predictable I think I will have the dream interpreters attempt to scam them but then have a small child give the real interpretation. I also could do a version where he is trying to become a monk and how the challenge was for him but not Buddha specifically. It also talks of the many miracles that happened when the baby was born. I was thinking of maybe using a similar biblical story but from the blind man’s point of view. I...
