Medhini, the “Tired Farmer”, was one of the 84 Indian Vajrayana Mahasiddhas….
美狄納,”疲倦的農夫”,是古印度金剛乘八十四大成就者之一….
美狄納出身自薩利鋪札的低種姓人家,靠耕田維生。某天他耕種一半站著休息時,一名經過的瑜珈士問他是否想脫離這一切痛苦,於是美狄納向這位瑜珈士學習佛法。然而雖然每日禪修,現實問題仍然繼續纏繞美狄納,使他一度想要放棄,上師教導他結合生活的修法,經過十二年禪修,終於得到成就,並在薩利鋪札地區教導無量眾生,最後往生到空行淨土。(維基百科)
Medhina was a low-caste man from Saliputra. One day while laboring in the field, he suddenly stopped and stood there. A yogin came along and asked if he would like to get away from this pain and suffering through learning Dharma. Medhina showed much interest and so the yogin gave him instructions on the Generation Stage and the Completion Stage, and then set him to meditating. But the thought of plowing the fields interrupted Medhina, making him lose his desire to meditate. He went back to his guru and expressed his concern. His guru gave him instructions that were more consistent with his thoughts.
Mendhipa continued meditating accordingly to his guru’s instructions for 12 years. Having stopped various kinds of worldly conceptions, he obtained siddhi. He ascended a tree which grew 7 talas up into the sky.
Mendhipa worked for the benefit of beings in Saliputra and then went to the realm of the Dakas in this very body.
