Angulimala
Angulimala (Pāli: "finger necklace/garland"; Sinhala: අංගුලිමාල, (ビルマ語:အင်္ဂုလိမာလ); Chinese: 央掘魔羅) is an important early figure in Buddhism, particularly within the Theravada suttas. A ruthless serial killer who is redeemed by a sincere conversion to Buddhism, he is seen as an example of the redemptive power of the Buddha's teaching and the universal human potential for spiritual progress, regardless of one's background.
==Textual sources==
Two texts in the Pali canon concern themselves with Angulimala's initial encounter with the Buddha and his conversion. The first is the Theragatha, verses 866-91, and the second is the Angulimala Sutta in the Majjhima Nikaya.〔Thanissaro Bhikkhu (trans.): (Angulimala Sutta: About Angulimala ), translated from the Pali (Theragatha, verses 866-91)〕〔Thanissaro Bhikkhu (trans.): (Angulimala Sutta: About Angulimala ), translated from the Pali (Majjhima Nikaya 86)〕 Both offer a fairly short description of Angulimala's encounter with the Buddha, and omit much of the background information later incorporated into the story (such as Angulimala being placed under an oath by a jealous teacher). These later additions- which appear in the sutta commentaries attributed to Buddhaghosa and Dhammapala (the Majjhima Nikaya commentary known as the Papancasudani (''Ps'') and the Therigatha commentary Paramattha-dipani (''Pad''), respectively) — may represent attempts by later commentators to "rehabilitate" the character of Angulimala — making him appear as a fundamentally good human being entrapped by circumstance, rather than as a vicious killer. The sutta texts themselves do not provide for any motive for Angulimala's actions, other than pure sadism.
