3. Dhammadinna.—A monk of Tissamahā-vihāra near Talaṅgarapabbata. Once, while on pilgrimage to Nāgadīpa with 500 others, he stopped at Sāgiri Vihāra, and they were looked after by Bahulamasutissa Thera. The next day they went for alms to Puṇṇasālakoṭṭhaka, where a resident entertained them to a meal with hare’s flesh. Dhammadinna later asked why Tissa Thera did not admonish his follower on the evils of killing, seeing that there was a heap of bones outside the house. Tissa asked Dhammadinna to do so the next day. This was done; the devotee confessed that he had never killed a hare, but in his house there was never any want of hare’s flesh, and he did not know why. Dhammadinna, with his divine eye, revealed to him that in the time of Padumuttara Buddha he had given alms with hare’s flesh.¹
