Dīgha3
PersonEin Brahmane, der seine Standesgenossen mit üppigen Almosen nicht zufriedenstellen konnte, prüfte eine Gruppe von Mönchen, indem er ihnen nur ein einziges Gefäß Reis reichte, und war von deren Genügsamkeit beeindruckt.
A brahmin. He found he could not satisfy other brahmins, even though he gave five bowls of food to each. One day he went to the vihāra, and, in order to test the monks, served them with only one vessel of rice. Thirty monks partook of it and Dīgha was pleased with their great moderation. AA.i.262 f.
