denunciation ceased. Then I asked
him. ‘If you bring a present to your
neighbour and he accepts it not;
does the present come back to
you?’ He replied, ‘It will.’ I said,
‘You denounce me now, but as I
accept it not, you must take the
wrong deed back on your own
person. It is like echo succeeding
sound, it is like shadow following
object; you never escape the effect
of your own evil deeds. Be
therefore mindful, and cease from
doing evil.”

~ The Buddha
