Udaya

Person

사왓티의 한 바라문으로, 붓다가 탁발을 위해 거듭 찾아오는 것에 불쾌해했으나 무슨 일이든 거듭 행해야 하는 이유에 대한 붓다의 가르침을 듣고 제자가 되었다

A brahmin of Sāvatthi. One day the Buddha came to his house and he filled the Buddha’s bowl with the food prepared for his own use. Three days in succession the Buddha came, and Udaya, feeling annoyed, said to the Buddha: “A pertinacious and greedy man is the Samaṇa Gotama that he comes again and again.” The Buddha pointed out to him how, again and again, the furrow has to be sown to ensure a continuous supply of food, how over and over again the dairy-folk draw milk, and how again and again birth and death come to the slow-witted. At the end of the discourse both Udaya and his household became followers of the Buddha. S.i.173 f; SA.i.199-200.
