Tissa34
PersonБолее известный как Кутумбияпутта-Тисса, тхера, отказавшийся от огромного богатства ради лесной жизни, который, когда нанятые невесткой головорезы пришли убить его, сломал себе бедренную кость, чтобы доказать, что не сбежит, и за одну ночь достиг архатства благодаря стойкости перед болью.
A Thera of Sāvatthi, better known as Kuṭumbiyaputta-Tissa. He renounced four hundred million of wealth and became a monk dwelling in the forest. His younger brother’s wife sent five hundred ruffians to kill him. He begged them to spare his life for one night and broke his thigh-bone with a stone as proof that he would not attempt to escape. During the night he overcame his pain and, dwelling on his virtues, became an Arahant.⁵¹
