THE GIFT

-
One day Buddha was walking through a village teaching Dhamma. A very angry and rude young man came upto him and started insulting him.
"you have no right to teach others!!!" he shouted.
"you  are as stupid as everyone else here. you are nothing but a fake saint."
Buddha was not upset by his insults. He just smiled. 
The man insulted him again and again but the only reaction he could get back was a smile and silence. Finally he stomped his feet and left cursing.
The disciples were very angry and one of them couldn't keep quiet and asked Buddha
"Why didn't you replied to the rude man?" 
Buddha replied "If someone gives you a gift and you refuse to accept it, to whom does  the gift belong?"
"of course to the person who brought the gift" - replied the disciple.
"that is correct "  smiled
The Buddha.
Compassion is not saying, I forgive you. Your forgiveness should be such that the person who is forgiven, does not even know that you are forgiving them. They should not even feel guilty about their mistake.
