Paraphrased from "The Heart of Buddha's Teaching" by Thich Nhat Hanh
The Bodhisattva Never-Despising saw the potential Buddha in everyone, and would bow to every child and adult and would say, "I do not dare to underestimate you, you are a future Buddha."
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That is the message of suffering. Receive it and return what he needs- relief.
