Tittira Jātaka3
JātakaEin Jātaka, in dem der Bodhisatta als brahmanischer Asket ein Lockrebhuhn tröstet — identifiziert als eine frühere Geburt von Rāhula —, das von Reue geplagt wird, weil es andere Rebhühner in den Tod gelockt hat, erzählt, um zu veranschaulichen, dass eine Tat nur durch böse Absicht falsch wird.
Once the Bodhisatta was a brahmin ascetic, and Rāhula a decoy partridge used by a village fowler. When the partridge uttered a cry, other partridges would flock to him, and they were killed by the fowler. The partridge was filled with remorse, fearing that he was doing wrong. One day he met the Bodhisatta who set his doubts at rest.
The story was told in reference to Rāhula’s readiness to profit by instruction (J.iii.64 ff). It was related by Moggaliputta-Tissa to Asoka, to prove to him that an action becomes a crime only when performed with bad intention. Mhv.v.264.
