Mahakasyapa - Foremost in Ascetic Practices Master Jun Hong Lu: Once, when Magadha's capital was known as Rajagaha, there was a young man from a wealthy family named Kasyapa, who from a young age loathed the secular rationalisation (厌离世俗). Due to his parents' insistence, he married a wealthy maiden from a neighbouring country, Vaishali, named Miao Xian (Kapilani). Miao Xian and Kasyapa were like-minded - both were into spiritual cultivation and were not interested in leading a married life. After the marriage, they lived a separate life. Twelve years later, the parents of both parties passed on and Kasyapa's destiny to renounce the secular life had matured (出家的机缘成熟). He bid Miao Xian farewell and left to seek a teacher. However, despite calling on several famous teachers, he still could not find one that suited his ideals. One day, he arrived at a bamboo cottage when the Buddha was teaching. Kasyapa realised he could see eye to eye with the preaching. Thus, he followed the Buddha and became a monk. Not long after, he brought Miao Xian to join the women's Sangha and together, they led a religious life. After Kasyapa took refuge in the Buddha’s teachings, he became a member of Buddha's Sangha. However, he never lived amongst the Sangha because he thought that the life within the Sangha was too abundant and was not conducive for world-transcending cultivation (不宜修出世法门). Kasyapa often meditated alone deep in the mountains and wilderness, next to the cemeteries and skeletons. In total, he had ten methods of cultivation: 1. Choose a remote place to live 2. Beg for food by going on alms round 3. Reside in one place 4. Consume only one meal a day 5. Beg for food from both the rich and poor, without bias 6. Strictly keep only three robes and a alms bowl 7. Often practise contemplation under the trees 8. Always sit in meditation outdoors 9. Wear the robes made of cast-off rags 10. Live in the graveyard Kasyapa's cultivation methods became known in Buddhism as ‘Dhuta’ (an ascetic practice) (头陀), which literally means to ‘shake off’, that is to shake off the filth and vexations from our body and mind. Kasyapa was committed to this level of austerity for a long time and never had he once slacked off. Hence, amongst the Buddha's disciples, he was known as ‘Foremost in Ascetic Practices’. The Buddha also praised Kasyapa as the true continuity of the Buddha’s dispensation (佛法的真正住持者). Deeply trusted by the Buddha, Kasyapa was entrusted the robe and the alms bowl of the Buddha (把衣钵传授给他).
