Piṇḍapātadāyaka Tissa

Other

婆那婆西·帝须长老的四个称号之一;因他来到舍卫城时,市民争相供养他一千钵斋食与一千件衣物,他悉数转赠僧团,这是他前生曾布施一块布给一位长老所感的果报。

One of the four names given to Vanavāsī Tissa (that being the last), because, when he came to Sāvatthi, the citizens vied with one another to do him honour, and in two days he was given one thousand bowls of alms and one thousand garments, all of which he gave to the Order. This was due to his having given in a previous birth a piece of cloth to an elder. DhA.ii.88.
