Intolerance seemed to him the greatest enemy of religion. Once he entered a public hall and found some of his disciples talking of Brahmin who had just been calling Gautama an impious person. "Brethren", said Gautama, "if others speak against me or against my religion, or against the order, there is no reason why you should be angry, discontented or displeased with them". Instead of getting angry, he asked his followers to judge whether what they had said of him, was correct or not. He urged his followers to be tolerant towards other creeds.

    4. What advice did Buddha give to his disciples?
