Loving Thy Enemy

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?” “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.

愛你的敵人

有一個人死后下地獄，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么多錢，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

一匹馬或一只水牛，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。所以何不干脆

把我變成她的父親，我就會整個輩子賣命還債，從她出生開始，

我就會一直不停地還！」在這種情況下，他會非常心甘情愿地還，

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，不管她要什么，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。
