The other disciples who were fellow students together became jealous therefore consulted together to come up with a ploy to destroy the lord Once it was agreed upon, two and three times he provoked the teacher. Finally, the teacher decided to believe, and came up with a ploy to get rid of the nonviolent child. when he saw that the intrigue was so elaborate So he said to the Ahimsaka Kumar, "Look Manop, go and kill a man and cut off a thousand of your fingers and bring it. We will assemble a liberal arts called Vishnu gave her a mantra."
Initially, Ahimsaka Kumar was disgusted and displeased because he was born into a Brahmin family. should not slaughter animals It is a violation of the family tradition of mother and father. But with the desire to complete a liberal arts called Vishnuman, he was reluctant to start holding arms. already bound to himself and said goodbye to the teacher into the forest Go on a killing spree that kills humans walking around in that place.
After killing, the number was not determined to be counted. was obscured by suspicion Since then, when killing people, they cut a bunch of fingers into a bunch like a wreath of 999 inches. "Angulimala Thief" means a thief with a wreath of fingers.
The news of this matter spread through various rural settlements. The people were startled and frightened, so they went to see King Pasenadi Kosol. to tell him to get rid of them When he knew it, he ordered the troops to be prepared. to catch a glimpse Killer Kulimal The father priest knew that danger to the child therefore consulted with Mrs. Brahmanee Let the brahmani go out first and tell her son the cause.
in that time The Supreme Patriarch saw the character of the Arahat Tongulimala the thief: If He is not a burden then murderer (kills mother) would be a cause of deterioration from the path. so he hurried away early in the morning when he found him The thief Angulimala immediately rushed in and chased him away. Intent to kill, kill, take the finger of the hand
No matter how much he chased, he couldn't keep up until his body became tired and tired, so he shouted for the Master to stop.
He then said that he had stopped.
But he still couldn't catch up, so he accused him of having a lie.
He also said that we have stopped doing evil things that cause suffering for a long time. but you still haven't stopped
That voice made the bandit Angulimala feel his guilt and stripped his weapon. and the garland of fingers left the body in the crevices of the mountains and went in to ask for ordination He allowed him to be ordained by the Ehi Bhikkhu ordination method. then brought him into the Jetavana Maha Vajiralongkorn
At dawn, Angulimala entered the city of Savatthi for alms. The city dwellers saw him and were terrified. They ran away in chaos. by running into the palace walls and closing the city gates and spoke from each other in many ways, some said,
Venerable Angulimala disguised himself as a monk to escape from the disaster, some say in the hopes of harming the people of the city.
Wherever he went on his alms round, there was a loud roar. No one offered alms, not even a single ladle. Any monk who goes with him will also starve.
But it was one of his luck that he made holy water for pregnant women the easiest to deliver. The woman gave birth to a child as easily as pouring water out of a sac.
Since then, people have admired him until that. The altar on which he sat was sprinkled with water and used as holy water. It gives the desired result as well.
The spell that he made holy water is the spell that
Yatoham bhagini Ariya Jatiya Chato naphichanami sanchicca panam chiva voropetta ten sacjane sotthi te hotu sotthi gaphassa.
It means, "Look, sister. since I was born He still didn't realize that he had taken the life of an animal with the power of that truth. May happiness and prosperity be upon her and her womb."
Venerable Angulimala is a person who is careless. intending to prosper But the mind is distracted and unable to concentrate. because the person he killed as if appeared before him. Knowing this, the Master came to advise and teach not to remember the past and the things that have yet to come. to consider the dharma that arises only before He followed it and soon attained enlightenment. a noble disciple counted in the number of unspeakable disciples When you have lived to a reasonable age, you will pass away.
