If you refuse the gift, to whom does it belong?

One of the stories of the Buddha has it that when confronted by an angry, rude man who hurled insults at him, Buddha only smiled.  His followers asked him why he did not reply, and he reportedly said If someone offers you a gift, and you refuse to accept it, to whom does the gift belong? and the right answer of course is “the person who brought the gift”.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way, and not starting.

– not The Buddha, and frequently misattributed

Perhaps derived from

My advice to you is not to undertake the spiritual path. It is too difficult, too long, and is too demanding. I suggest you ask for your money back, and go home. This is not a picnic. It is really going to ask everything of you. So, it is best not to begin. However, if you do begin, it is best to finish. – Chögyam Trungpa

or perhaps from

No matter; the Road has two rules only: Begin and Continue, and the Buddha left us a detailed guide-book for the Way. But it must be trodden, every weary step of it. There is no by-pass nor ever will be, and no short cuts whatever. We tread it on our own two feet, alone, yet feeling in the darkness a million more ahead of us, beside us and behind. There is no chance nor luck nor fortune, good or bad, upon the Way; each moment, each event, is the net result of a million causes each of own own fathering. – Christmas Humphreys, A Western Approach to Zen (1971)

The Blessed One said “Amrapali, the mind of woman is easily disturbed and misled. She yields to her desires and surrenders to jealousy more easily than a man. Therefore it is more difficult for a woman to follow the Noble Path.
This is especially true for a young and beautiful woman.  You must step forth toward the Noble Path by overcoming lust and temptation.”

– The Teachings Of Buddha, pg 147
