Mahātissa5

Person

पुण्णवल्लिक के एक भिक्षु, जो चाँदनी में महास्तूप को देखकर आनंदमग्न हो गए और अंततः वायुमार्ग से वहाँ पहुँचने की ध्यान-शक्ति विकसित कर ली।

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.
