1.77

When the evil man stopped reviling, the Buddha asked him: 'If you offer a gift of courtesy to someone and they do not accept it, according to principle, what happens to the gift you offered?' The foolish person replied: 'I take it back myself.' The Buddha again told him: 'Now you revile me, and I do not accept it either; you take it back yourself, and the calamity falls upon your own person.'
