Mahātissa16

Person

색욕에 시달리던 칫탈라팝바타의 주지로, 그의 스승은 그에게 힘들게 독방을 짓게 한 후 단 하룻밤만 그곳에 머물게 했는데, 그동안 그는 정진하여 아라한과를 증득했다.

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.
