How to part with potentially harmful possessions
[Angulimala:] &quot;At long last a greatly revered great seer  for my sake
has come to the great forest. Having heard your verse in line with the
Dhamma, I will go about having abandoned evil.&quot;
So saying, the bandit hurled his sword &amp; weapons    over a cliff    into
a chasm,
a pit. Then the bandit paid homage to the feet of the One Well-gone, and right there requested the Going-forth.
The Awakened One, the compassionate great seer, the teacher of the
world, along with its devas, said to him then:    &quot;Come, bhikkhu.&quot; That
in itself was bhikkhuhood for him.
