Near Tokyo lived a great Samurai, now old, who decided to teach Zen Buddhism to young people.

One afternoon, a warrior – known for his complete lack of scruples – arrived there. The young and impatient warrior had never lost a fight. Hearing of the Samurai’s reputation, he had come to defeat him, and increase his fame.

All the students were against the idea, but the old man accepted the challenge.

All gathered on the town square, and the young man started insulting the old master. He threw a few rocks in his direction, spat in his face, shouted every insult under the sun – he even insulted his ancestors.

For hours, he did everything to provoke him, but the old man remained impassive. At the end of the afternoon, by now feeling exhausted and humiliated, the impetuous warrior left.

Disappointed by the fact that the master had received so many insults and provocations, the students asked: “How could you bear such indignity? Why didn’t you use your sword, even knowing you might lose the fight, instead of displaying your cowardice in front of us all?”

“If someone comes to you with a gift, and you do not accept it, who does the gift belong to?” – asked the old Samurai.

“He who tried to deliver it.” – replied one of his disciples.

“The same goes for envy, anger and insults.” – said the master. “When they are not accepted, they continue to belong to the one who carried them.”

Great. Thanks for sharing.

Somehow this triggered two things :


-Does that only applies if you remain impassible? Coz I have a tendency to smile or laugh at it now... I guess that triggers other emotions in people rather than confronting them with these... :oops:

-As that also applies to all feelings, the opposite of this would be doing nice things, but if people remain impassible, it goes back to us. Hmm... I suppose some people could take it badly though... (just as someone could take with a smile the masters impassible response)... So it would trigger the opposite feeling instead of the same...if you understand the lesson
