Cūḷa-Kāḷa2
Person阿若憍陈如的前生,憾萨瓦提城的一位居士,曾多次向毘婆尸佛供养同一片稻田的初穗,因此成为乔达摩佛初转法轮时第一位证悟者。
A previous birth of Aññā-Koṇḍañña. He was a householder of Haṃsavatī, in the time of Vipassī Buddha. One day going to the rice-field, he hulled a kernel of rice, ate it and found it unusually sweet. He thereupon obtained his share of the field from his brother Mahā-Kāḷa, and gave to the Buddha and the monks the first-fruits of a single crop, nine times, at nine different stages (DhA.i.82). He thus became the first to gain any attainment when Gotama Buddha taught his first discourse (DhA.i.8 ff).
