Rain clouds move north of Riis Landing at The Rockways in Queens, NY, looking toward the Marine Parkway Bridge and with a faint view of the Manhattan skyline in the distance.
Not photoshopped, actually building and sidewalks... and not a reflection. No trickery here, just a cool building and a keen eye.
Koan XLII BUDDHA AND THE LADY
Once, in ancient times, Manjusri went into the presence of the World-Honoured-One where all the Buddhas assembled, but they had all departed to their original dwelling-places. A single woman was there, close to Buddha’s throne, in the deepest meditation. Manjusri said to the Buddha, “How is it that this woman is so close to your throne, and I cannot be?” The Buddha spoke to Manjusri and said, “You may awaken this woman from her deep meditation, and ask her yourself how this can be.” Manjusri walked round her three times, snapped his fingers once, (and could not wake her, so he) took her up to the Brahman Heaven, and practised all his magic art upon her, but could not bring her out of her deep meditation. The World-Honoured-One said, “Even a hundred thousand Manjusris could not get her out of her concentrated condition. But down below, past twelve hundred million countries, as innumerable as the sands of the Ganges, there is a Bodhisattva named Mōmyō. He will be able to awaken this woman from her profound meditation.” Thereupon Mōmyō emerged out of the earth, and bowed to the World-Honoured-One, who told him what he wanted him to do. Mōmyō went before the woman, snapped his fingers once, and at this she came out of her meditation.
Rii is the name of the lady.
