Dhammā6

Person

尸婆村的一位贫苦女子,她所施的一件袈裟规定只有证得阿罗汉果者方可穿着,国王因此感动,将该村改名为达摩尸婆以纪念她。

A very poor woman of Sīva village. Once she gave a garment to the monks of Giritimbilatissapabbata-vihāra, and they agreed among themselves that none but an Arahant should wear it. One of them became an Arahant that very day and wore it; he then passed it on to another, and before the end of the rains they all thus became Arahants. On the day of the pavāraṇa, King Lañjitissa ordered the monastery to be decorated. The monks setup Dhamma’s garment as a banner at the entrance. The king, having discovered the reason, gave Dhammā the village of Sīva, which then came to be called Dhammasīva. Ras.ii.42.
