from The Long Thread - Ancient Stories For The Present Moment. · host Ashvee Kanwar

His name meant garland of fingers.He had earned it.Nine hundred and ninety-nine people.One short of a thousand.The Buddha heard about this - and walked straight toward him. Alone. Past every warning. Past every person who grabbed his sleeve and said - not that road.What happened when Angulimala finally caught up with a monk who was only walking, is one of the most surprising moments in all of Buddhist teaching.
