A Powerful Message from The Buddha

One day the Buddha was walking through
a village. A very angry and rude young
man came up and began insulting him.
"You have no right teaching others," he
shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone
else. You are nothing but a fake!"
The Buddha was not upset by these
insults. Instead he asked the young man,
"Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone,
and that person does not take it, to whom
does the gift belong?"
The young man was surprised to be asked
such a strange question and answered, "It
would belong to me, because I bought the
gift."
The Buddha smiled and said, "That is
correct. And it is exactly the same with
your anger. If you become angry with me
and I do not get insulted, then the anger
falls back on you. You are then the only
one who becomes unhappy, not me. All
you have done is hurt yourself.

Sometimes you meet someone,

Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.”
