The Buddha

When a simpleton abused him, Buddha listened to him in silence, but when the man had finished, asked him, "Son, if a man declined to accept a present offered to him, to whom would it belong?" The man answered, "To him who offered it".
"My son", Buddha said, "I decline to accept your abuse. Keep it for yourself".
