Pessa
PersonUn dresseur d’éléphants de Campā dont la conversation avec le Bouddha, consignée dans le Kandaraka Sutta, impressionna tant le Bouddha qu’il fit remarquer que Pessa aurait pu obtenir quelque chose de précieux s’il était resté plus longtemps.
An elephant-trainer of Campā.
He visited the Buddha at Gaggarā-pokkharaṇī where Kandaraka was also present, and his conversation on that occasion is recorded in the Kandaraka Sutta. When Pessa had left, the Buddha is reported to have said that he was a man of great understanding, and that had he stayed longer he could have taken away with him something which would have proved precious to him. M.i.339-42.
