Udena3
PersonEin Laienanhänger aus Kosala, der ein Kloster erbaute, dessen Streit über die Einweihung während der Regenzeit den Buddha veranlasste, Mönchen in dieser Zeit kurze Reisen zu gestatten.
A lay disciple (upāsaka) of Kosala. He built a vihāra for the Order, and he invited monks for its dedication, which took place during the Rainy Season (vassa). It being against the rules to go on a journey before the end of the Rains, the monks asked him to postpone the dedication. This annoyed him. When the matter was referred to the Buddha, he altered the rule so that a journey lasting not more than seven days could be undertaken during the Rainy Season.¹³
