| English | [Also the effects of] latent tendencies of afflictions are explained here, such as in the case of the arhat Kapītanaḥ who destroyed the reliquary of [a person called] Thursday out of his latent tendencies of hatred. There were also some [arhats] who yelled, “Ain’t they gorgeous!” at women and got all excited while guffawing with laughter. Or, we have such [reports] as the one about the two sons of finanda’s sister [828] who were fooling around with their miraculous powers after they had attained novitiate and arhathood at the age of seven: On their way to fetch water, they would send the pot ahead in space while they followed behind. Furthermore, there was Gavāmpati, who, due to his latent tendencies of affection, cried out, “Brother Pūrṇa!”1630All these examples refer to stories in the Vinaya scriptures about such arhats. For example, Maudgalyāyana—who was renowned for his miraculous powers—went to the hell realms and met a hell-being who was suffering in a very particular way and told him that such suffering had befallen him because—during his human lifetime as a non-Buddhist spiritual teacher—he had propagated certain wrong views. The hell-being requested Maudgalyāyana to tell his students that their teacher urged them to renounce their wrong views because of such karmic results. When Maudgalyāyana returned to the surface of the earth and told the teacher’s students what he had seen and heard, they did not believe him but took his words as an insult to their deceased guru and beat him to death. Udāyin still had some attachment and preferred to teach dharma in the neighborhood brothel. The local robber chief caught him alone with his own favorite prostitute and chopped his head off. The arhat Little Kubja had the problem that everything that was given to him as alms did not stay in his begging bowl but fell out immediately. So he finally tried some broth made of mud, which stayed in his bowl but led to his passing away. Nanda used to stare at the women in the audience when giving a dharma talk. There are other stories (quoted in Crosby and Skilton 1995): High-caste Mahākāśyapa could not rid himself of habitual snobbery and—despite his renown for ascetism—could not help jigging to a tune because of his former lives spent as a monkey. Likewise, Gavāmpati—because of his many lifetimes as an ox—habitually regurgitated his food to chew the cud. Madhuvasiṣṭha—another ex-monkey—could not resist climbing walls and trees. Reportedly, even a pratyekabuddha—who had been a courtesan in past lives—still dressed “like a coquette.” Pūrṇa(maitrāyaṇīputra) was noted for his abilities in expounding the dharma and his skill in training novice monks. Thus, one sees that they possess the latent tendencies of actions. |
