About this episode
The Buddha and Ananda once tended a sick monk, neglected by his companions because of his 'uselessness'. Sangharakshita shows that people cannot be treated as 'things' in the spiritual community.
From the talk A Case of Dysentry given in 1982 as part of the series Incidents from the Pali Canon.
