Slayer To Saint

“Slayer To Saint” is the last of our Spooky Season Dharma talks! We explore the story of Aṅgulimāla the man born “Harmless” who became feared as a serial killer, and then found his way back to harmlessness again. It’s a story of fear, obedience, and transformation. Of how a good student can lose his way trying to please the wrong teacher. And how even the most violent karma can ripen into peace when met with wisdom. This year, we looked at every part of his journey from his parents’ fears and his teacher’s betrayal to the Buddha’s compassion and that unforgettable line: “Bear it, Brahmin, bear it.” It’s not a story about punishment. It’s a story about what’s possible when we finally stop running. I hope you enjoy this powerful story! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
