Tissa10
PersonМонах, который, в отличие от взволнованных собратьев, услышавших о скорой кончине Будды, спокойно решил прежде всего достичь архатства — решимость, поначалу принятая за безразличие, но одобренная Буддой.
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
