One day 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.”
Jedneho dna sa Buddha prechadzal po dedine. Jeden velmi nahnevany, nevychovany mlady muz prisiel k nemu a zacal ho napadat. "Nemas pravo ucit druhych" zakrical nanho. "Si rovnako hlupy ako vsetci ostatni. Nie si nic, len si vymyslas."
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?
Buddhu sa to vobec nedotklo. Namiesto toho sa mladeho muza opytal: "Povedz mi, ak kupis darcek pre niekoho a on si ho nevezme, komu bude tento darcek patrit?"
”The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”
Muz bol zaskoceny takou neobvyklou otazkou a odpovedal: "Mal by patrit mne, pretoze ja som ho kupil."
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.”
Buddha sa usmial a povedal: "Spravne. A presne tak isto to je aj s tvojim hnevom. Ak si nahnevany a ja zostanem nedotknuty tvojim hnevom, tak tvoj hnev padne na teba. Ty si potom jediny kto zostane nestastny, nie ja. Jedine coho dosiahnes je ze ublizis sam sebe.
“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.”
Ak chces zastavit toto sebeublizovanie, musis sa zbavit hnevu a namiesto toho sa stat milujucim. Ked nenavidis ostatnych, ty sam sa stanes nestastnym. Ale ked milujes ostatnych, kazdy je stastny.
