One day Buddha was sitting under a tree. When suddenly, a furious Brahmin priest came to him and started abusing him. The Brahmin priest thought that gout on Buddha would reciprocate in the same manner. But to his utter surprise, there was not the slightest change in the expressions on his face. So now the Browning became more furious, he hurled more and more abuses at Buddha.

However, Gautam Buddha was completely unmoved. Actually, there was a look of compassion on his face. And ultimately, the Brahmin was tired of abusing him. And he asked him, I have been abusing you like anything. But why are you not angry at all? Gautam Buddha calmly replied, My dear brother, I have not accepted a single abuse from you. But you heard all of them, didn't you? The Brahmin argued, and Buddha said, I do not need the abuses. So why should I even hear them?
