Person

Puṇṇavallika 一位比丘,因月夜遠眺大塔而生起禪悅,長期憶念修習,終獲神通能騰空飛抵大塔。

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.
