放下屠刀 立地成佛
the butcher who lays down his cleaver, at once becomes a Buddha
a butcher becomes a Buddha the moment he drops his cleaver; a wrongdoer achieves salvation as soon as he gives up evil.
lay down butcher's knife, become a Buddha on the spot (idiom); instant rehabilitation / to repent and be absolved of one's crimes
