When the Buddha stayed at Pañkadhā during one of his tours
and instructed the monks there, Kassapa of the Hampagotta disapproved of his
teaching, thinking that he was too scrupulous. But later, when the Buddha
returned to Rājagaha, Kassapa, filled with remorse, followed him thither, and
confessing his transgression, begged for forgiveness. The Buddha praised him for
having made confession, and said that only those monks who were zealous in the
practice of religion deserved praise, but others did not. A.i.236f.
