Person

Một tỳ-kheo ở Lonagiri, người mà bát cháo sữa của mình đã kỳ diệu nuôi no năm mươi vị tăng hành hương đói khát sau khi ông bắt đầu thực hành Sáu Nguyên Tắc Hòa Hợp, và sau đó đã lấy được hai chiếc khăn choàng quý giá tại một lễ hội bất chấp nỗ lực ngăn cản của nhà vua.

A monk resident in Lonagiri (Lenagiri). He once saw fifty monks, on their way to Nāgadipa on a pilgrimage, returning from their alms-rounds in Mahākhīragāma, with their bowls empty. Asking them to wait, he returned in a little while with his bowl of milk-rice which proved more than enough for the whole company. Seeing their astonishment, he explained that since he had begun to practise the Six Practices Evoking Friendship (sāraṇīyā-dhammā), his bowl had never lacked food.

At the Giribhandamahāpūjā-pūjā) at Cetiyapabbata, Tissa wished to have for himself two shawls, the most precious things there. He declared his wish in the presence of others and the king, on being informed, determined that Tissa should not have them, but every time he put out his hand to take the robes, they slipped away, and others took their place. In the end the robes were given to Tissa.⁵⁰
