Endurance

[Thales]

Hello,

Awhile ago I remember reading a sutta on access to insight in which the Buddha sees a monk with his robes torn, lip bloodied, and alms bowl cracked and yells to him "Endure it, brahman!" At least, that's all I remember of it. If anyone can help me find it again I would be grateful.

Angulimala sutta:

Then Ven. Angulimala, early in the morning, having put on his robes and carrying his outer robe & bowl, went into Savatthi for alms. Now at that time a clod thrown by one person hit Ven. Angulimala on the body, a stone thrown by another person hit him on the body, and a potsherd thrown by still another person hit him on the body. So Ven. Angulimala — his head broken open and dripping with blood, his bowl broken, and his outer robe ripped to shreds — went to the Blessed One. The Blessed One saw him coming from afar and on seeing him said to him: "Bear with it, brahman! Bear with it! The fruit of the kamma that would have burned you in hell for many years, many hundreds of years, many thousands of years, you are now experiencing in the here-&-now!"
