Short english story with moral lesson

 



One day Buddha was in an assembly when a man walked in looking furious he thought Buddha was doing something wrong. 

He was drawing a huge crowd and people would just go to him and meditate. he was a restless businessman and he had found

that his children were spending their time with Buddha when they could have engaged themselves in business making more money and ensuring their livelihood.


All of his thoughts disappeared but the anger in him did not dissipate he was shaking and he found himself speechless since he was unable to express his emotions in words he's simply spat on buddha's face Buddha. In return simply smiled his disciples who

Were sitting with him were furious they wanted to react and were ready to jump but the Buddha's presence didn't allow them to do so they just couldn't believe someone could behave in such a reprehensible manner with the Buddha but they couldn't say anything and this man could not stay longer either he noticed is action had not drawn any reaction from the people around him and the Buddha had simply smiled in return a few minutes later he thought if I stay longer will burst that will explode so he walked away.


Once he returned home he couldn't erase the image of the smiling Buddha from his mind for the first time in his life he had met someone who had such an extraordinary reaction to such a disrespectful act he could not sleep all night and his whole body underwent at the transformation.


He was shivering to shake he felt as though his world had collapsed so the next day he got up and went and fell at buddha's feet and said please forgive me I did not know what I was doing to which Buddha replied I cannot excuse you everyone including

Buddha's disciples are shocked at this reaction all his life Buddha had been so compassionate he had accepted everyone in his ashram regardless of their past and now he was telling the businessman that he could not excuse his behavior Buddha looked around and found everyone to be in a state of shock so he explained why should I excuse you when you have not done anything

wrong have you done that I should excuse your behavior


 The businessman replied:-


yesterday I came to this assembly and in my anger, I spat on your face I am the same person it is me. 


Buddha said that the person is not here anymore if I ever meet the person on whom you spat I'll tell them to excuse you for me to the person who's right here in this moment you are wonderful you have done nothing wrong.


In life when do we truly forgive a person true?


forgiveness is when you forgive a person and that someone doesn't even know that he is being forgiven that person shouldn't feel guilty for his deed this is the right kind of forgiveness. 


if you forgive someone and keep reminding them about their mistake and make them feel guilty all the time then in truth, you've simply not forgiven them yet guilt itself should be enough punishment for a person.
