the blind thera Cakkhupala
Commentary On Dhammapada Stories-the blind thera CakkhupalaPrecepts without wisdom are dangerous!
@DhammapadaStories
On one occasion, Thera Cakkhupala, a blind thera, came to pay homage to the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery. One night, while pacing up and down in meditation, the thera accidentally stepped on some insects. In the morning, some bhikkhus visiting the thera found the dead insects. They thought ill of the thera and reported the matter to the Buddha. The Buddha asked them whether they had seen the thera killing the insects. When they answered in the negative, the Buddha said, "Just as you had not seen him killing, so also he had not seen those living insects. Besides, as the thera had already attained arahatship he could have no intention of killing and so was quite innocent."
