What should I do if I have a wife and meet someone I like more?

Other articles 2015-01-04

Late at night, there is a Buddha in the temple, and the Buddha sits and stands.

People: Compassionate Buddha, I am a married man, and now I am passionately in love with another woman. I don’t know what to do about it now.

Buddha: Can you be sure that the woman you fall in love with now is the only last woman in your life?

People: Yes.

Buddha: You will divorce immediately and then marry her.

People: But my wife is extremely gentle, kind and virtuous. Is it a bit cruel and immoral to do this?

Buddha: It is true cruelty and immoral to have no love in marriage. You are now in love with others and don’t love her. This is correct.

People: But my wife loves me very much, and she loves me deeply.

Buddha: Then she is happy.

People: I want to divorce her and marry someone else. She should feel very painful. How can I say she is happy?

Buddha: In marriage, she still has love for you, but you have lost love for her. In fact, having is happiness, losing is pain, so the person who suffers is you.

People: But I want to divorce her and marry her again, it must be because she lost me.

Buddha: You are wrong. You are just a concrete manifestation of true love in her marriage. When this concrete does not exist, her true love will continue to another concrete, because her true love in her marriage has never been lost.So, she is happy, but you are in pain.

People: She once said that she only loves me in this life, and she will definitely not fall in love with others.

Buddha: Have you said this?

People: I...

Buddha: Now, look at the three candles on the incense altar in front of you. Which one is the brightest?

People: I can't tell you, it seems that they are all the same bright.

Buddha: These three candles are like three women, one of which is the woman you love now, but you can't find her.In the vast world, there are more than a million women. You can’t even tell the brightest of these three candles. How can you be sure that the woman you love now is the only last woman in your life?

People: I...I...I...I...

Buddha: Now take a candle and put it in front of your eyes. Look at it carefully. That one is the brightest.

People: Needless to say, of course, this one in front of you is the brightest.

Buddha: Put it back to its original place and look at the brightest one.

People: I can't see that brightest one.

Buddha: In fact, the candle I just took is like the woman you love now. This means that love is born from the heart. When you feel that you love her, it is just like the principle of putting the candle in front of you, and it is wrongly magnified by your eyes.When I put it back to my original place, I can no longer find the brightest feeling. This so-called last only love does not actually exist, and it is just an illusory and unreal thing after all.

People: Oh, I understand. You don’t want me to divorce my lover, you are enlightening me.

Buddha: See through and don’t tell it through, go.

People: Only now do I really know who I should love, she is my wife.

Buddha: Amitabha, Amitabha.
