Kāḷa2

Person

Un ancien pris en charge avec dévouement par une laïque comme s’il était son propre fils, qui tenta de la dissuader de rendre visite au Bouddha et même d’empêcher l’enseignement, craignant qu’elle cesse de s’occuper de lui.

An elder. A certain woman ministered to him as though he were her son, but when she expressed her desire to see the Buddha, Kāḷa tried to dissuade her from doing so. One day she visited the Buddha without telling Kāḷa of her intention, and when he learnt where she had gone he hurried to the Buddha and tried to prevent him from teaching her, in case she should stop caring for him. DhA.iii.155 f
