The teacher explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion. One day teacher was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. You have no right teaching others, he shouted. You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake. Teacher was not upset by these insults. instead he asked the young 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 surprised to be asked a strange question and answered, it would belong to me, because I bought the gift. The teacher smiled and said, That is correct. and it is exactly the same with your anger. if you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. you are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. all you have done is hurt yourself.
