Angulimala Sutta - 1 (Live Recording On Zoom)
by Lisa Goddard
Live Recording. In the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, there is one particular called the Angulimala Sutta, the story of a murderer, a serial killer whose name, Angulimala, means Finger Garland because he would make a necklace out of the fingers of all those that he killed. On the surface, it doesn’t seem very relatable, but the backstory, which is attributed to one of the most influential monastics in the Theravada Buddhist lineages from the 5th century, Buddhaghosa, translated additional commentaries to the original story, and it's those commentaries where the story really emerges. This talk was recorded Live on Zoom and makes reference to people who are on the screen. Thank you for understanding.
