It is said that on one occasion an ignorant person abused the Buddha. The Buddha listened on silently, and when the person had stopped abusing, the Buddha asked: 'My son, if a person does not accept a present what will happen to it?' His adversary replied: 'It remains with the person who has offered it.' The Buddha then said: 'I do not accept your abuse.' - from 'Ancient India', Ram Sharan Sharma.
