Akitti Jātaka

Jātaka

講述古代智者即使僅以野葉清水維生仍與人分享所有的本生故事,是佛陀為稱許舍衛城一位一連七日供養佛陀及僧眾的施主所說。

See Akitti. It was related at Jetavana, of a generous donor who lived at Sāvatthi. This man invited the Buddha, and during seven days gave many gifts to him and to the monks. On the last day he presented the company of Arahants with all necessaries. The Buddha praised the man’s generosity and told him how wise men of old shared their possessions with others, even when they themselves had nothing to eat but kāra-leaves and water. J.iv.236 ff.
