Buddhist Legends1. The Chapter about the Pairs1.7. Devadatta Wears an Unbecoming Robe-----------------------Elder Sāriputta taught on generosity and people decided to give alms; one man gave a robe, which they decided to give to Elder Devadatta; when the Buddha heard about it he related a Birth Story about Devadatta, who, as an elephant hunter, disguised himself as a Paccekabuddha in order to kill his prey, and then spoke some verses about him.-----------------------The one who, while he’s still impure,would wear the renunciant’s robe,unendowed with restraint and truth,he is not worthy of that robe.The one who, steady in virtue,throws out any impurity,endowed with both restraint and truth,is indeed worthy of that robe.-----------------------#buddhistlegends #buddhism
