The Buddha explains how to handle insult and maintain compassion.

;
 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 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.”
 “If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger
and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become
unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy.”
The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Buddha. “You
are right, o Enlightened One, “he said. “Please teach me the path of
 love. I wish to become your follower.”
 The Buddha answered kindly, “Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants
 to learn. Come with me.”
 Beautiful Quotes
 If you are right then there is no need to get angry, And if you are
wrong then you don’t have any right to get angry.
 Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence and
Patience with GOD is faith.
Never Think Hard about PAST, It brings Tears…
Don’t Think more about FUTURE, It brings Fears…
Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings Cheers.!!!!
 Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is our whether we become victim or victorious !!!
Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good but
good things are always beautiful.
Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers? So that someone who
is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands

When someone shares something of value with you and you
benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.
