1 This is impossible, O bhikkhus, there is no chance, in that an individual excelling in [noble right] view could, with an angry state of mind, shed the tathagata's blood. This possibility is not to be found. But this very possibility, O bhikkhus, is to be found, in that a puthujjana could, with an angry state of mind, shed the tathagata's blood. This possibility is to be found.
