[00:00:03]Picture this.

[00:00:04]An emperor and a Buddha. Same crowded market.

[00:00:09]>> [music] >> Same impossible problem.

[00:00:11]A merchant insults me.

[00:00:14]My armor wants war.

[00:00:17]The Buddha beside me only smiles.

[00:00:20]"Marcus," he says, "the first arrow [music] struck you. The second, you fire yourself."

[00:00:29]I breathe.

[00:00:31]I let the insult pass [music] through me like wind through a gate.

[00:00:35]The merchant leaves.

[00:00:37]My peace stays.

[00:00:40]Tonight, when someone wounds [music] you with a word, name it out loud. First arrow. Then refuse to draw a second.

[00:00:51]That refusal is your throne.
