Udaya

Person

舍卫城的一位婆罗门,起初因佛陀屡次登门乞食而心生不满,听闻佛陀开示凡事皆须一再为之的道理后皈依。

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.
