When a simpleton abused him, Buddha listened in silence; after the man finished, Buddha asked, "Son, if a man declined to accept a present made to him, to whom would it belong?"
The man answered, "To who offered it."
"My son." Said Buddha, "I decline to accept your abuse, and request that you keep it for yourself."
Bhikkus is a Pali word for male ordained monastic monk.
On one occasion, while The Buddha was passing through a forest. He took a handful of leaves and said: "O Bhikkhus, what I have taught is comparable to the leaves in my hand. What I have not taught is comparable to the amount of leaves in the forest. - The Buddha
