Person

Lonagiri 的一位比丘,自修持六种和敬法后其钵中乳粥能奇迹般供饱五十位空钵而归的朝圣比丘,后于一次庆典中执意求取两件珍贵披肩,尽管国王暗中阻挠仍如愿获得。

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
