Buddha spoke thus once to his disciples:
"The words of men to you can be of five kinds: at the right time or at the wrong time,
True or false, gentle or bitter, profitable or unprofitable, kindly or resentful.
If they speak evil to you, this you must think: 'Our heart shall not waver;
And we will think of the man who speaks ill of us with thoughts of love,
And in our thoughts of love shall we dwell. And from that abode of love
We will fill the whole world with far-reaching, wide-spreading, boundless love."
Majjihma Nikaya
"There are men who have no vision, and yet they speak many words.
They follow the letter of their holy books, and they say:
"There is nothing but this." Their soul is warped with selfish desires,
And their heaven is a selfish desire. They have prayers for pleasure
And power, the reward of which is an earthly rebirth."
Bhagavad Gita II 42,43
