From Serial Killer to Saint: The Story of Angulimala

From Serial Killer to Saint: The Story of Angulimala

In this talk, Tarapalita looks at the Story of Angulimala: How did a serial killer, who’s passion was cutting off the fingers of people he’d killed to make a delightful necklace for himself, go on to become a disciple of the Buddha and eventually the patron saint of women in childbirth?

And just to say, even if you’re not a serial killer yourself, and you might not be, that’s ok as well, there are plenty of life lessons to be learnt from this story of redemption and transformation with one of the wildest characters in Buddhist history.

If it’s possible for Mr. Fingers to turn his life around and move towards his full blown potential, then it’s possible for us!
