Verses and Stories of Dhammapada: Tissathera Vatthu

Akkocchi mam avadhi mam
Ajini mam ahasi me
Ye tam upanayhanti
Veram tesam na sammanti.

Akkocchi mam avadhi mam
Ajini mam ahasi me
Ye tam na upanayhanti
Veram tesupasammati.

In those who habor such thoughts :
He reviled me., beat me, overpower me, robbed me.
Anger never is stilled”

Of those who do not hve such thoughts:
He reviled me, maltreated me, defeated me, and robbed me.
Hatred is appeased.


Story
A monk called Tissa Thera was proud of being a cousin of the Buddha. He did not pay due respect to the senior monks. When they did not satisfy with his improper conduct, he took offence and went up to see the Buddha and made a complaint. The Buddha advised him to apologize, but Tissa Thera did not want to do so. The Buddha  then told a story to show that Tissa Thera dad done likewise in his past life. Later, Tissa Thera was forced to seek pardon from the senior monks.
