祇樹給孤獨園 [qi shu gei gu du yuan]—Jetavana Anātapindika's Park
【Place Name】In Savatthi (舍衛城 [she wei cheng]) there was an elder (長者 [zhang zhe]) who pitied the lonely and vulnerable. People called him Anātapindika (給孤獨 [gei gu du]). When the Buddha (佛 [fu]) was in the Magadha Kingdom (摩揭陀國 [mo jie tuo guo]), Anātapindika came to hear the Dharma and took the Three Refuges, becoming an Upāsaka (優婆塞 [you po sai]). Later, he begged the Buddha to come to Savatthi to convert the people of his country, and offered a garden and grove (園林 [yuan lin]) to the Buddha. The Buddha agreed. The elder returned to his country and chose Prince (太子 [tai zi]) Jeta's (誓多 [shi duo]) grove, Jetavana, as the foremost garden and grove.
In the first part of the Commentary on the Maitreya Ascending Sutra (彌勒上生經疏 [mi lei shang sheng jing shu]), Ci'en (慈恩 [ci en]) recorded the circumstances of the grove's name, involving the names of two people. It states: "The land is expansive and elevated, with lush springs and groves, measuring five li in circumference, making it suitable for establishing a saṅghārāma (伽藍 [jia lan]) [monastery]. Shan Shi (善施 [shan shi]) requested to buy it, but the Prince did not permit. The Prince joked, saying: 'Spread gold (金 [jin]) over the entire ground, to a depth of five cun, and I will sell it then.' Shan Shi agreed. (text omitted) The Prince, knowing his earnest intention, developed a superior resolve himself. What people value most is nothing more than gold and jewels. Yet he is able to empty his treasury to buy land to build a monastery; what do I lack that I cannot build one? He requested to revoke the previous land agreement, but the elder did not agree. The Prince said: 'You were permitted the land for the gold, but the trees were not discussed. The land follows your ownership, but the trees belong to me. To help achieve this success, I will simply offer them as a donation.' Later, when the Buddha visited this place, He told Ananda: 'The garden land was bought by Shan Shi, and the trees were donated by Jeta. The two were of one mind and together established this merit (功德 [gong de]). From now on, this place should be called Jeta's Grove, Anātapindika's Garden (誓多林給孤獨園 [shi duo lin gei gu du yuan]).'"
祇樹給孤獨園—【地名】舍衛城有長者哀恤孤危。世人呼曰給孤獨 Anātapindika，佛在摩揭陀國時，來聞法三歸為優婆塞。後乞佛來舍衛城度國人，以園林獻佛。佛許之。長者歸國選園林以太子誓多之園林 Jetavana 為第一。彌勒上生經疏上，慈恩以二人之名載園林名之因緣。曰：「地唯挾塏，泉林繁鬱，壁方五里，可設伽藍。善施請買，太子不許。因戲言曰：布金滿地，厚敷五寸，時即賣之。善施許諾。（中略）太子知其情邈，自發勝心。人之所貴，莫過金寶。而彼當能傾庫買地以造僧園，我何所乏而無修建？請悔先地，長者不從。太子云：許地取金，未論林樹。地隨汝主，林屬我身。其助成功，但陳供養。佛後遊此，告阿難曰：園地善施所買，樹林誓多所施。二人同心，共崇功德。自今已後，應謂此地為誓多林給孤獨園。」
