In the time of Buddha, a man abused the Buddha in front of huge crowd in a very sensitive ways. But instead of getting angry Buddha smiled and asked question to the man. "If a person to whom you are offering gift refuses to accept it then to whom does the gift belongs to"?. "To the person who offers the gift" replied the man so promptly. Buddha gently said, "so I refuse to accept your abuse and keep it with you. it belongs to you ". A man could not utter a word....
What will be your reaction if you were there in the place of Buddha??? With no doubt, we could have exchanged the abuses and landed into violence. Thinking like Buddha makes a lot difference and saves from all deadly consequences.
So, be the followers of Buddha and create heaven in earth instead of going to Heaven......
