Araka Jātaka

Jātaka

Ein Jātaka über den Brahmanensohn Araka, den Bodhisatta, der ein Asketenlehrer im Himavā wurde, berühmt für die Lehre der vier erhabenen Verweilzustände, und nach dem Tod sieben Weltzeitalter lang in der Brahma-Welt wiedergeboren wurde — erzählt im Zusammenhang mit der Mettā-Sutta.

The Bodhisatta was once born in a brahmin’s family and was named Araka; when he grew up he embraced the religious life and lived in the Himavā as a teacher with a large following. He taught his pupils the value of the four sublime abidings (brahmavihāra). After his death he was born in the Brahma-world and remained there for seven aeons.

The story was told to the monks at Jetavana in reference to the Mettā Sutta (J.ii.60-2).
