Gautama Buddha was sitting under a banyan tree. One day, a furious bramhin came to him and started abusing him. The bramhin taught the Gautama Buddha would reciprocate in the same manner, but to his utter surprise, there was not the slightest change in the expressions on the face.
Now, the bramhin became more furious. He hurled more and more abuses at Buddha. However, Gautama Buddha was completely unmoved. Actually there was a look of compassion on his face. Ultimately the Brahman was tired from abusing him. He asked I have been abusing you like everything but why are you angry not at all?
Gautama Buddha calmly replied my dear brother I have not accepted a single abuse from you.
But you heard all of them didn't you? The bramhin argued half heartily. Buddha said i don't need the abuses so why should I listen to them.
Buddha said dear brother suppose you give some coins to somebody and if he does not accept them with whom will those coins remain the bramhin replied if I have given the coins and not needed by someone then naturally they would remain with me.
With a meaningful smile on his face Buddha said now you are right. the same has happened with you abuses. The bramhin remained speechless.Inner calmness ad peace are keys to contented life live life as as per your goals and ambition in life. so do not respond to what person said about you in anger. Control your with patience and calmness that is biggest strength of wise man.
