The Story of Thera Tissa

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (404) of this book with reference to Thera Tissa.

Thera Tissa, after taking a subject of meditation from the Buddha, went to a mountain side. There, he found a cave which suited him and he decided to spend the three months of the rainy season (vassa) in that cave. So he stayed in the cave and went to the village for alms-food every morning. In the village, there was a certain elderly woman who regularly offered him alms-food. In the cave, there also lived the guardian spirit of the cave. As the thera was one whose practice of morality was pure, the cave-spirit dared not live in the same cave with the noble thera; at the same time, he did not have the courage to ask the thera to leave the place. So he thought of a plan that would enable him to find fault with the thera and thus cause him to leave the cave.

The cave-spirit possessed the son of the elderly woman from the house where the thera usually went for his alms-food. He caused the boy to behave in a very peculiar way, turning his head backwards, and rolling his wide open eyes. His mother got alarmed and was in tears. The cave-spirit, who possessed the boy, then said "Let your teacher, the thera, wash his feet with water and pour that water on the head of your son." The next day when the thera came to her house for alms-food, she did as she was advised by the cave-spirit and the boy was left in peace. The cave-spirit went back to the cave and waited at the entrance for the return of the thera. When the thera returned from his alms-round, the cave-spirit revealed himself and said, "I am the spirit guarding this cave. O you physician, do not enter this cave." The thera knew that he had lived a clean life from the day he had become a thera, so he replied that he did not remember practising medicine. Then the cave-spirit accused him that in that very morning he had cured a young boy possessed by an ogre at the house of the elderly woman. But the thera reflected that it was not, in fact, practising medicine and he realized that even the cave spirit could find no other fault with him. That gave him a delightful satisfaction (piti) with himself, and abandoning piti and concentrating hard on Insight Meditation he attained arahatship then and there, while still standing at the entrance to the cave.

As the thera had now become an arahat, he advised the cave-spirit to leave the cave. The thera continued to stay there till the end of the vassa, and then he returned to the Buddha. When he told the other bhikkhus about his encounter with the cave-spirit, they asked him whether he did not get angry with the cave-spirit when he was forbidden to enter the cave. The thera answered in the negative but they did not believe him. So they went to the Buddha and said, "Thera Tissa claims himself to be an arahat ; he is not speaking the truth." To them the Buddha replied, "Bhikkhus, my son Tissa was speaking the truth when he said he did not get angry. He has indeed become an arahat he is no longer attached to anyone; he has no occasion to get angry with anyone nor any need to associate with others."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 404: Him I call a brahmana, who associates not with the householder or with the homeless one, or with both, who is free from sensual desire and has few wants.

提沙比丘被控使用咒語


不與俗人親匿，也不與四方遊行的人親匿，四處雲行，不執著於一屋一瓦，沒有欲愛的人，我稱之為婆羅門。 (偈 404)


　　提沙比丘得到一個觀想的題目後，就在一座山邊找了一處合適的洞穴，然後開始三個月的結夏安居。他每天清晨到村子去化緣，村裡的一位老婦人經常供養他。住在洞穴中的一位女精靈覺得很難與一位高貴的比丘共處一室，但又沒有勇氣請他離開，就想用個法子來挑剔他的不是，使他離開。

　　她決定附靈在老婦人的小兒子身上。附靈之後，這年輕男子把頭向後扭轉，瞪大雙眼。老婦人看見這景像時，大聲驚呼，這精靈便開口道：「我已經附在你兒子身上了。叫提沙比丘用水洗他的腳，滴水在他頭上之後，我才會離開。」 　　第二天，提沙來向這婦人化緣時，老婦人遵照精靈的話做，她的兒子就恢復原狀。這精靈於是先回洞穴口去等提沙。提沙回來時，她現身告訴他：「我是守護這洞穴的精靈，你這驅魔人，不要進入這洞穴。」提沙明白自己打從出家那天起，就過著有德性的生活，便回答說，他從沒有犯下比丘不可以使用咒術的戒律。女精靈接著指控他為老婦人的小兒子治療，但提沙回想自己並未使用咒術，於是當下明白，即使精靈也無法挑剔他，他因此法喜充滿，當下就證得阿羅漢果。

　　他告訴女精靈，像她這樣指控一位具有清淨德行、無污點的比丘，是謬誤的；並且建議她，不要再打擾他，結夏安居之後，他就回祇樹給孤獨園，也向其他比丘敘說與精靈遭遇的情形，他們問他，當精靈禁止他進入洞穴時，他是否生氣？他回答說：沒有。這些比丘就去請教佛陀：提沙尊者宣稱不再動怒，是真的嗎？

　　「比丘們！提沙的話是真的，他已經是阿羅漢了，不再執著任何人，所以沒有任何理由對人動怒。」佛陀如是回答他們。
