Dīghatapassī
PersonEin Nigaṇṭha-Anhänger des Nāṭaputta, der, nachdem er mit dem Buddha in Nālandā über das Handeln und seine Wirksamkeit diskutiert hatte, den Wortwechsel Nāṭaputta und Upāli berichtete, was Upāli veranlasste, den Buddha direkt herauszufordern und schließlich überzutreten.
A Nigaṇṭha, follower of Nāṭaputta. He once visited the Buddha at Nālandā, and there followed a discussion on actions and their efficiency. Dīghatapassī reported this discussion to Nāṭaputta and Upāli, who was listening, went, against the advice of Dīghatapassī, to the Buddha and challenged him to a discussion, at the end of which Upāli was converted (M.i.371 ff).
The Commentary (MA.ii.594) says that Dīghatapassī was long-limbed, hence his name.
