Synopsis
Peace activist Satish Kumar retells a powerful Buddhist scripture, offering an alternative to violence in the face of terror. The story follows the Buddha's encounter with Angulimala, a notorious killer who wears a necklace of severed fingers. Through compassion and understanding, the Buddha helps Angulimala transform from a figure of rage into a nonviolent monk. This tale then explores the difficult question of justice: should a repentant former terrorist be punished for past crimes or recognized for his change?
