There's an Amar Chitra Katha story I remember about a guy called Angulimal who spent his youth robbing people on the highway and cutting off their fingers as memento. After a chance meeting with the Buddha, Angulimal had a change of heart and became a saint or suchlike. Problem was other people were not ready to forget his past even if he was. Angulimal was stoned to death by villagers he wanted to give non-violence lessons to.
