In another chapter, I have
mentioned a Bodhisattva who is named as Often-not-despising. When he was a
Buddhist monk and saw the people, he closed his palms together, respected and
bowed to those persons, and said to them that you would become a Buddha in the
future, so I do not dare to despise you. He often did that and said such
things. Some people regarded him as a mad person and threw stones to him. He
ran away, and then stood far away to face those people, always closed his palms
together, respected and bowed to those people, and said loudly to them that all
of you would become Buddha in the future, so I do not dare to despise you. That
is why people call him Bodhisattva Often-not-despising. The story is talked by
Buddha Shakyamuni in Buddhist Scripture. This story reminds us that we should
not despise any person, even though they are un-learner in Buddhism.
