Maccha Sutta
Maccha Sutta:Once,during a tour in Kosala with a large number of monks,the Buddha saw a fisherman selling fish.
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.A.iii.301f.
