When Buddha Met A Serial Killer | Path To Spiritual Enlightenment | Short Inspirational Story
About this video -
This inspirational and motivational short story teaches a lesson that turned a psychopath serial killer into saint when he met buddha. Angulimala is an important figure in Buddhism, particularly within the Theravada tradition. Depicted as a ruthless brigand who completely transforms after a conversion to Buddhism, he is seen as the example par excellence of the redemptive power of the Buddha's teaching and the Buddha's skill as a teacher. Angulimala is seen by Buddhists as the "patron saint" of childbirth and is associated with fertility in South and Southeast Asia.
Angulimala story can be found in numerous sources in Pāli, Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese. Angulimala is born Ahimsaka. He grows up as an intelligent young man in Savatthi, and during his studies becomes the favourite student of his teacher. However, out of jealousy, fellow students set him up against his teacher. In an attempt to get rid of Angulimala, the teacher sends him on a deadly mission to find a thousand-human fingers to complete his studies. Trying to accomplish this mission, Angulimala becomes a cruel brigand, killing many and causing entire villages to emigrate. Eventually, this causes the king to send an army to catch the killer. Meanwhile, Angulimala's mother attempts to interfere, almost causing her to be killed by her son as well. The Buddha manages to prevent this, however, and uses his power and teachings to bring Angulimala to the right path. Angulimala becomes a follower of the Buddha, and to the surprise of the king and others, becomes a monk under his guidance. Villagers are still angry with Angulimala, but this is improved somewhat when Angulimala helps a mother with childbirth through an act of truth.
Scholars have theorized that Angulimala may have been part of a violent cult before his conversion. Indologist Richard Gombrich has suggested that he was a follower of an early form of Tantra, but this claim has been challenged.Buddhists consider Angulimala a symbol of spiritual transformation, and his story a lesson that everyone can change their life for the better, even the least likely people. This inspired the official Buddhist prison chaplaincy in the UK to name their organization after him. Moreover, Angulimala story is referred to in scholarly discussions of justice and rehabilitation, and is seen by theologian John Thompson as a good example of coping with moral injury and an ethics of care. Angulimala has been the subject of movies and literature, with a Thai movie of the same name choosing to depict him following the earliest sources, and the book The Buddha and the Terrorist by Satish Kumar adapting the story as a non-violent response to the Global War on Terror.
