Kappa

Person

波婆離的弟子之一,其向佛陀請教如何從輪迴洪流中尋求庇護,記載於《劫波學童所問》,後證得阿羅漢果。

One of Bāvarī’s disciples. The questions he asked of the Buddha are recorded in the Kappa-māṇava Pucchā. He asks the Buddha if there is any refuge from the flood of becoming, decay, and death. The Buddha says that there is a place of non-attachment where one can be at peace, no longer a slave of Māra. Kappa became an Arahant. Sn.vv.1007, 1092-5; SnA.ii.597.
