踏み殺しそうになった一匹の小さな「蜘蛛(くも)」の命を助けたこと

Kandata was a ruthless villain who had committed many evils, but he had performed just one good deed in his lifetime. It was that when he walked through a forest, he spared the life of a tiny spider he was about to step on, pitying it, 'This too is a living thing.' Recalling this good deed, the Buddha thought to rescue him from hell.
