Mahātissa5
PersonEin Mönch aus Puṇṇavallika, der beim mondbeschienenen Anblick des Großen Thūpa in Verzückung geriet und die meditative Kraft entwickelte, schließlich durch die Luft dorthin zu reisen.
Of Puṇṇavallika. One full-moon day, at evening, he went to the courtyard of the Mahā Thūpa, saw the moonlight, and turning towards the shrine, entered into rapture, the Buddha being his object of thought. He habitually recalled this experience thenceforth until, one day, he was able to travel through the air to the Mahā Thūpa. Vism.143; DhSA.116.
