CATU-DVĀRA-JĀTAKA.
Kisah ini
diceritakan oleh Sang Guru ketika berada di Jetavana, tentang seseorang yang
tidak patuh.
Di sini Sang
Guru bertanya kembali kepada bhikkhu tersebut, “Apakah benar seperti yang
mereka katakan bahwa Anda tidak patuh?”
“Ya,
Bhante.” “Di masa lampau,” Beliau berkata, “ketika dengan tidak patuh Anda
menolak untuk melakukan permintaan orang bijak, sebuah roda pisau diberikan
kepadamu.”
Dan Beliau
menceritakan sebuah kisah masa lampau.
Dahulu kala,
di masa kehidupan Buddha Kassapa, hiduplah
seorang saudagar di
kota Bārāṇasi (Benares) yang memiliki kekayaan sebesar delapan ratus
juta rupee dan memiliki seorang putra yang bernama Mittavindaka. Ayah dan ibu
dari laki-laki ini telah mencapai kesucian tingkat pertama (sotāpanna),
sedangkan ia sendiri adalah orang yang jahat, seseorang yang tidak mau percaya.
An amazing Love Story
He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable,
she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.
