| A man goes up
to Gautam the Budha and spits at him. Budha wipes the spit with his shawl and asks the man
if he had to say anything more. The man gets disturbed. This is not the response he
was looking for. He had answers for why did he spit, he had answers if Budha’s disciples tried to restrain him. But, the man was puzzled. Budha clarified that he realized that the man was angry and did not have words to express and therefore he spit on Buddha. Buddha acknowledged that this problem of expression happened to him many times when he had difficulty expressing with words. The man further asked why Buddha did not get angry in response. Buddha was very clear. He said, "you are not my master." Why should I react to what you do. I am not your slave. The next day the man came back again and this time he was crying and putting his head on Budha’s feet. Buddha again asked him if he had to say anything more. The man said I am asking for an apology and you are not saying anything. Budha said that again you have problem expressing with words and you are using tears to express. I acknowledge that and want to know if you have to express anything more. |
