Tissa10
PersonUn moine qui, contrairement à ses confrères agités en apprenant que le Bouddha allait bientôt mourir, resta calmement résolu à atteindre d’abord l’état d’Arahant, une détermination d’abord prise pour de l’indifférence mais que le Bouddha loua.
A monk. When the Buddha declared that in four months he would pass away, many monks were greatly excited, collecting in groups, not knowing what to do. However, Tissa remained aloof, determined to win Arahantship before the Buddha’s death. The others, misunderstanding him, reported to the Buddha that Tissa had no love for him, but the Buddha, having questioned him, praised his earnestness.¹⁵
