2.307

"Devadatta instructed King Ajātaśatru to kill his father, kill his mother, and kill the World-Honored One. Having lost his supernatural powers, he nevertheless came to see the Buddha. The Buddha told him: 'Foolish man, why do you not manifest supernatural powers?' Having no answer, he was ashamed." Replacing [the original words], he said: "A gentleman dislikes speaking beforehand."
