Mahātissa5
Person月光に照らされた大塔を見て法悦に入り、やがて空中を飛んでそこへ行けるほどの禅定力を養ったプンナヴァッリカの比丘。
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.
