The Three Characteristics is a tongue-in-cheek take on what is known as a "jataka" story, or incarnation saga of Buddhism, but sounds more like the Book of Job with Ganesh being tempted by Jehiour (really Iehi Aour, Allan Bennett) to inflict various karma on the reincarnating Per R Abu (Perdurabo, Crowley). These two works were originally appendices II and I respectively of The Sword of Song whilst Berashith and Science and Buddhism were its supplements and further philosophical works.
The Three Characteristics is a satirical retelling of Buddhist "jataka" tales, drawing inspiration from the Book of Job narrative. It presents Ganesh as being swayed by Jehiour to inflict karma on the reincarnating Per R Abu, echoing the original work's appendices and supplementary texts.
