Dhammaceti

Person

Ein erleuchteter König von Pegu, der vom Mönch zum Minister, zum königlichen Schwiegersohn und schließlich zum Nachfolger aufstieg und Mönche zur Wiederordination an der Kalyāṇi-sīmā nach Sri Lanka sandte, wodurch er den Sīhalasaṅgha in Rāmañña begründete

King of Pegu (A.C.1460-91); a very enlightened monarch. He was first a monk; he then gave up his robes and became first the minister and later the son-in-law and successor of Queen Shin-san-bu. He sent a mission to Sri Lanka, where a body of Rāmañña monks were ordained at the Kalyāṇi-sīmā. These returned to Rāmañña and were known as the Sīhalasaṅgha. For details see Bode: op.cit., 38 f.
