From the Pāli (Bodhi 2005; Thanissaro 1999)Summary
The Buddha advises the Venerable Purna on how to handle potential abuse and aggression should he travel to a land known for its violent people. Purna demonstrates his commitment to non-violence by stating how he would respond with compassion and understanding, even if threatened with physical harm or death. Purna then travels to that land, successfully converts many people, establishes temples and monasteries, and ultimately attains enlightenment shortly before passing away. The Buddha then praises Purna's accomplishments and enlightenment to a gathering of monks. (AI generated)Primary Source
