One of the most dramatic narratives in the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha is the Angulimala Sutta that recounts the transformation of a serial killer into an enlightened disciple of the Buddha. The story of Angulimala is extreme—he was a murderer, feared by whole villages, driven by rage and delusion. Most of us are not like that. Yet this dramatic story really shows us something we all share: what happens when we do not restrain our impulses. When we are swept away by anger and fear, even in the smallest ways, we create harm.
