Once , a buddha was walking through a village . A angry
young man came up and began insulting him . “ you have no rights to teach
others , “ he shouted “ you are as
stupid as everyone else . you are just a fake “.
Buddha was not upset by
this kind of attitude . Instead he asked the man “ Tell me , if you buy
a gift for someone and that person does
not take it , to whom does the gift belong ?”
The man was shocked and surprised by such a question and
replied “ it would belong to me , because I bought it “
The Buddha smiled & said “ That is correct , and it
is exactly the same with your anger . if you become angry with me, I donot get insulted but instead , anger falls back on you . you are then the only one who becomes unhappy , not me.All you have done is hurt yourself “.
is exactly the same with your anger . if you become angry with me, I donot get insulted but instead , anger falls back on you . you are then the only one who becomes unhappy , not me.All you have done is hurt yourself “.
“ if you want to stop hurting youself , you must get rid of
your anger and become loving instead . When you hate others , you yourself
become unhappy . but when you loves others , everyone is happy “.
