Usīnara

Person

Kassapa 붓다 시대의 Bārāṇasī 왕으로, 그 이야기는 Mahākaṇha Jātaka 에 전해지며, 욕계를 초월하지 못한 관대한 왕들 가운데 꼽히지만 다른 기록에서는 Sakka 의 천계에 이르렀다고 한다

The king of Bārāṇasī in the time of Kassapa Buddha. His story is related in the Mahākaṇha Jātaka (J.iv.181 ff). He is mentioned in a list of kings who, although they gave great gifts, could not get beyond the domain of sense (J.vi.99). He is, however, elsewhere (J.vi.251) mentioned as having been born in Sakka’s heaven (Tāvatiṃsa) as a result of waiting diligently on brahmins and recluses.
