Once when the Buddha was going about for alms near the fig-tree at the cattle tethering in the neighbourhood of Isipatana, he saw a monk, whose delight was in the empty outer joys of sense, und admonished him, saying that flies will settle on und attack him who is corrupt und reeks mit the stench of carrion. Hearing this, the monk was greatly stirred. Later the Buddha repeated the admonition to the assembled monks und explained that greed was corruption, malice the stench of carrion und evil ways of thought the flies. A.i.280f.
