Fun facts: if you were from an ancient Buddhist culture - or modern-day Thailand or Sri Lanka - you might comment that the deva Rahu has swallowed the sun. I'm not kidding! Is Rahu mentioned in the suttas? Yes! Also, in rural Thailand, it would be well within your rights to fire your rifle at Rahu as well. You know, to scare him away again.

People here in Japan esteem others on the basis of outward appearances, without knowing anything about real inner virtue; so students lacking the spirit of the Way are dragged down into bad habits and become subject to temptation."
