Do you stop, too."Then the bandit Angulimala thought: "These monks, followers of the Sakya scion, speak truth, assert truth; but though this monk is walking, yet he says 'I have stopped, Angulimala; do you stop, too.' Suppose I question the monk?"Then he addressed the Blessed One in stanzas thus:"While you are walking monk, you tell me you have stopped;But now, when I have stopped, you say I have not stopped.I ask you now, O monk what is the meaning of it;How is it you have stopped and I have not?"(The Blessed One)"Angulimala, I have stopped for ever,Foreswearing violence to every living being;But you have no restraint towards things that breathe;So that is why I have stopped and you have not."When Angulimala heard these words, a second and greater change of heart came over him. (Angulimala)"Oh, at long last a sage revered by me,This monk, has now appeared in the great forest;Indeed, I will for sure renounce all evil,Hearing your stanzas showing the Dhamma."</blockquote>
