One of the profound stories from the life of Gautama Buddha that illustrates the power of silence is the encounter between Buddha and an angry man.

The Power of Silence: The Story of Insults
Once, while Buddha was preaching to his disciples, a man came up to him and started insulting him. The man hurled harsh words at Buddha, calling him all sorts of names. However, Buddha remained completely calm and silent, not reacting to the man's aggression.

The disciples were puzzled and angered by the man's behavior, but Buddha still didn't say a word. After the man had exhausted himself with insults and was about to leave, Buddha finally spoke. He asked the man a simple question:

“If someone offers you a gift, and you refuse to accept it, to whom does the gift belong?”

The man, confused, replied, "It would still belong to the person who offered it."

Buddha then calmly said, "In the same way, I refuse to accept your anger and insults. They remain yours."

The man was stunned by this response. Buddha's silence and calm demeanor in the face of aggression made the man realize the futility of his anger. Instead of engaging in conflict, Buddha taught him a valuable lesson through silence and wisdom.
