A proud samurai hurled insults at the Zen master, demanding a reaction. But the master stayed silent and calm. When the samurai asked, “Don’t you feel anger?” the master replied with timeless wisdom:
“If someone offers you a gift, and you do not accept it — to whom does it belong?”
This powerful Zen story teaches us how to rise above provocation and choose peace over reaction. A lesson in letting go of ego, and reclaiming your calm.
