again...
Master Nun of the Hwa mountain in taiwan: Lingmei,
if someone cannot forgive and forget their problem, its agony
and suffering to him/her, so how are you going to save
him/her.?
Lingmei: Well, honorary one, thanks for your question (we nun hv
to thanks master if she ask us question), I will give him/her a
lecture on forgiveness but not forgetting, cos we cannot forget
things, which is mind over matters. Hopefully she understood and
learned the true happiness meaning of Let Go (detachment).
Master: Good, but if she still cannot Let Go.
Lingmei: Then, master, you have to enlighten me, please.
Master: Ask her to end her life
Lingmei: But master, our teaching forbid killing of oneself, it
is the greatest sins
Master: Lingmei, there are time you have to do the extreme, if a
person come to me with her problems, and after telling her the
solution and thesis on Let Go and Forgiveness, she still cannot do
it, and ask again. And when we replied Kill yourself, it somehow,
enlighted and solve all her problems. And even if she is to kill
herself, so be it, we save many others from suffering with her.
Lingmei: Master, may I ask, what do you mean by she get
enlighted when we ask her to end her life when all teaching failed
to save her.
Master: You see Lingmei, people have a motivation factor in
them, at time, the more bad you said about them, the more they are
motivated to live and fight on. Just like sometime, i said you go
and die, it makes you wake up and tell yourself, hey, I am not
going to die like this, this is the end of the road, i have to make
a U turn and fight on to show all of you that i can make it without
ending my life.
Lingmei: Thank you master for your wonderful insight.
Master: For punishment to you, tonite you cook dinner for us
Lingmei: Huh? why master, i did nothing wrong?
Master: You did not seek my permission before asking me
question
Lingmei: Oh...
That's better. You really ask your master this question?
