Explanation

Angulimaal (also known as Angulimala) was a legendary figure in Buddhist and Hindu traditions who was a ruthless brigand. His name literally means 'necklace of fingers' because he wore a garland made of fingers cut from his victims. He was eventually transformed by encountering the Buddha and became a monk. This is a well-known story from Buddhist literature about redemption and the power of spiritual transformation.
