愛你的敵人2007.2.24－從愛心出發

清海無上師以英文講於福爾摩沙西湖國際禪五 2007.02.24

所以不管是什麼宗教，我們都應該成為聖愛、慈悲與犧牲的典範，這樣每個人都會受到感動，連敵人也不例外。說到敵人，我們真的應該愛我們的敵人，了解嗎？否則他們轉世回來，你還是得愛他們；他們會回來當你的妻子、丈夫、兒女，你就是必須用這種方式愛你的敵人。看你是要現在做，或以後回來再做；是要心甘情願地做，或是在因果教主的命令下，不得已而做。

有一個人死後下地獄，閻羅王在王座前審判他和另一個人。閻羅王說︰「強森先生，你欠這位史密斯夫人這麼多錢，但卻沒有還錢，所以她控告你。不過就算你下輩子再來當人，我認為你也無法還錢，因為你沒有任何功德，下輩子也會一貧如洗，所以我要讓你變成一匹馬或一隻水牛，這樣你就可以工作一輩子。你可以拉車載她一輩子，直到還清債務為止，說不定還會牽連到下下輩子。」

這個欠錢的人說︰「閻羅王，這樣也許不是個好主意。即使我變成馬、牛、狗等等，我還是無法把債務還清。所以何不乾脆把我變成她的父親，我就會整個輩子賣命還債（大眾笑），從她出生開始，我就會一直不停地還！」在這種情況下，他會非常心甘情願地還，因為不管她轉世為男的或女的，或是任何模樣，他都會疼愛自己的兒女。而且在這種情況下，不管她要什麼，他都會很樂意又有愛心地給，甚至還會自豪地說︰「她是我的女兒，我付十萬美元讓她上大學，看看她現在的成就！我還在幫她付房租。她想要一架直升機，我也要想辦法買給她。」這樣確實跟「愛你的敵人」沒有兩樣了。所以你現在就必須愛他們，否則下輩子還要再回來，付出更多愛心給他們。

Loving Thy Enemy

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai,
International 5-day retreat, Hsihu, Formosa
February 24, 2007 (Originally in English)

So no matter what the religion is anymore, we should just be an example of divine love, compassion and sacrifice. Then everyone will feel impressed, even our enemies. Talking about enemies, we really have to love our enemies; do you know that? Because they come back, and then you have to love them. They come back as your wife, your husband, your sons or your daughters. That’s the way you have to love your enemies! You can do it now or you come back and do it later. You can do it willingly, or you have to do it by order of the Lord of Karma.

A man died, and he went to hell. And the King of Hades received him in front of his throne, together with another person, and he said, “You, Mr. Johnson, you owe this person, Madame Smith, so much money but you haven’t paid it back. So she’s suing you because you didn’t pay her back. But I don’t think you can ever pay her back if you come back the next life as a human again since you don’t have any merit in your account and you are not going to have any money at all again in the next lifetime. So, I am going to make you become a horse or maybe a buffalo so that you can work all your life. You can pull the cart and keep carrying her all your life until you repay your debt. Maybe it will spill over into the next life even.”

The man, the money-owing person, said, “Oh, King, maybe that’s not a good idea. Even if I become a horse or buffalo or a dog or whatever, I will never be able to pay it off to her. So, why don’t you make me become her father, and I will pay my whole lifetime?” (Laughter) “From her date of birth, I will keep paying, paying and paying.” In that case, he will be paying very willingly, because he will love his daughter or son, whoever that might be or however she might have reincarnated. And in that case, whatever she wants, he will give, willingly, lovingly, and even proudly: “Yes, that’s my daughter. I paid a hundred thousand dollars for her to go to college. Look at what she is now. I’m still paying for her apartment. She wants a helicopter, and I’m going to get it for her.” So, that is really similar to “Love thy enemy”! You must love them now or else you’ll have to come back and love them even more.
