8. The Buddha said: "An evil man may wish to injure the
Virtuous Ones and, raising his head, spit towards heaven, but
the spittle, far from reaching heaven, will return and descend
upon himself. An unruly wind may raise the dust, but the
dust does not go elsewhere; it remains to contaminate the
wind. Virtue cannot be destroyed, while evil inevitably
destroys itself."
