Tissa39
PersonEin Novize aus Tissa-Mahāvihāra, der unter seiner Abneigung gegen das Klosterleben litt und sich mit großer Mühe eine Höhle am Cittalapabbata baute, dort in derselben Nacht die Arahantschaft erlangte und am folgenden Tag starb; über seinen Reliquien wurde später eine Stupa errichtet.
A novice of Tissa-Mahāvihāra. He complained to his teacher of his distaste for the Order and the latter took him to Cittalapabbata. There, with great effort, Tissa built for himself a cave and while lying there during the night, became an Arahant, dying the next day. A thūpa called the Tissa-thera-cetiya was erected over his relics and this was still in existence in Buddhaghosa’s day.⁵⁵
