Mahātissa16

Person

情欲の思いに悩まされたチッタラパッバタの住持で、師は彼に骨折って独房を建てさせ、たった一晩だけそこに住まわせた——その間に彼は精進し阿羅漢果を得た。

An incumbent of Cittalapabbata. He was troubled by lustful thoughts and consulted his teacher. The Thera asked him to prepare a cell for him, which he did with great care. The Thera then asked him to occupy it for one night, since he had taken so much trouble over it. That night Mahātissa put forth effort and became an Arahant. AA.i.26.
