Tissa39

Person

僧院生活への嫌気に苦しんだティッサ・マハーヴィハーラの沙弥で、大変な苦労をしてチッタラパッバタに自ら洞窟を築き、その夜のうちに阿羅漢果を得て翌日入滅した。後に遺骨の上に塔が建てられた。

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
