Sitting down at the foot of a tree by the wayside, the Buddha pointed out to the monks how no fisherman enjoyed a happy life because his mind was for ever engaged in slaughter. It was the same, he said, with those who killed other creatures; those guilty of killing would suffer greatly after death.¹ - [Previous: v2.c31.247](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.247) - [Next: v2.c31.249](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.249) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.248](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.248) · Pramāṇa
