Mahātissa5

Person

Un moine de Puṇṇavallika qui, saisi de ravissement à la vue du Grand Thūpa au clair de lune, développa le pouvoir méditatif de finalement s’y rendre en volant dans les airs.

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.
