Chapter 56 love for love

Master Hsing Yun told a story to his believers. He said that a believer came to him and asked him: "My husband has a mistress, what should I do?" "You first examine yourself." Master Hsing Yun said. "How can I get him back?" the believer asked him. "It's not that there is no way, but you must not be able to do it." Master Xingyun said. "Master, please tell me." said the believer. "Love for love." Master Xingyun said, "Every time your husband goes to see the mistress, you send him out and tell him not to worry about it. When he comes back, you have to treat him well."

"He went to have a mistress, and he wants me to treat him well?" the believer asked back. "I said earlier that you couldn't do it." Master Xingyun said. "Since you say so, master, I will do as I say." This believer then followed Master Hsing Yun's words. Every time her husband went to see his mistress, she would send him out with a smile to ask him how he was.The husband wondered, why did the wife become like this?Finally the husband returns to his wife. This is not love for love, this wife is not willing to accept her husband as a mistress, she just wants to snatch him back, this is love in exchange for means.

Of course, being willing to use means is still out of love. It's just that if that man has no love in his heart, no amount of love can bring him back.
