Tissa19

Person

アーラッダヴィパッサカ・ティッサとして知られる比丘で、日の出とともに蓮の花が開くのを見ながら奴隷の少女が死について歌うのを聞き、無常の真理に打たれて観を修め阿羅漢果を得た。

A monk known as Āraddhavipassaka-Tissa. While walking about he saw a lotus open at the rising of the sun. Immediately afterwards, he heard a slave-girl singing; her song told of how men are subject to death just as the lotus opens to the sun. Tissa thereupon developed insight and became an Arahant.³¹
