chanted by ven.Omalpe Sobhita thero.A bandit I used to be,
renowned as Aṅgulimāla.
Swept along by a great flood,
I went to the Buddha as refuge...
This has come well & not gone away,
it was not badly thought through for me.
The three knowledges
have been attained;
the Buddha’s bidding,
done.
Buddhists have raised Aṅgulimāla's story as an example of the compassion (Pali: karuṇa) and psychic power (Pali: iddhi) of the Buddha. Aṅgulimāla's conversion is cited as a testimony to the Buddha's capabilities as a teacher, and as an example of the healing qualities of the teaching of the Buddha (Dharma)
