Would there happen to be a sutta similar to the story of Milarepa? Who was not such a nice, perfect man, but eventually became enlightened?
The Pali Canon is so large. I am really wanting to read something similar about repentance and the like.
Would someone help me out with this if you could?
Is there a similar story?

Angulimala would fit the bill.
