弥补错误的方法

Q. If a wrong is done , how can it be reversed or undone?
　
A. Do the opposite. Try to make up for it. Not only stop doing wrong, but you continue doing right, or start doing right. Not only do we not steal from other people, but we also help the people who are poor and truly in need. That's the true correction for what we did.For example, you have a husband and you have an affair with another man. For example, for example, please. (Laughter) Now you feel sorry about it. It is not only that you have already stopped the affair because your husband doesn't like it, but you also have to love your husband more. Take care of him more. Let him feel better. Let your family relationshi become more solid and happier for you, your husband, and your children. That's the positive way of repenting our wrong deed. Not only we stop doing wrong, but we have to do right.

　　Once Ghandi heard a Hindu person say, "I am going to hell. I killed a Moslem, because another Moslem killed my child."Then he asked, "What can I do now?

　　I will go to hell anyhow."So Ghandi said to him, "I know a way out of hell. If you raise an orphan to become a Moslem,you can make up for that. Maybe you will still go to hell, but at least your conscience will be clear. You'll know you have done the best to make up for the wrong you have done and also made someone else happy. At least when you go to hell, you will go happily."

问：如果我们犯了错，要怎样才能补救或消除？

答：试着做相反的事去补偿。不但停止犯错，还要开始或继续做对的事；不但不偷别人的东西，还帮助穷人、 帮助真正需要的人，那才是真正改正错误。比方说，你已经有先生，结果又和另一个男人有关系，这只是比如而已。 现在你很后悔，已经中止了那种关系，不再和对方做那样的事， 因为你先生不喜欢。这种情况下，你不但要停止外遇，还要多爱你的先生、多照顾他，让他好过一些，让你的家庭关系更稳固，使你自己、你的先生和孩子更快乐， 这才是比较肯定的悔改方式——不但不再犯错，还必须做对的事。

有一次甘地听到一个印度教徒跟他说：“我要下地狱了！因为有个回教徒杀了我的小孩，所以我也杀了一个回教徒。”

他问说：“现在我该怎么办？我一定会下地狱的。”

甘地对他说：“我知道一条出地狱的路。你去认养一个孤儿，让他变成回教徒，弥补你以前所做的事。也许你还是会下地狱，但至少良心没有愧疚，你知道自己已经尽力去弥补了，而且还让别人快乐，这样至少你去地狱时会快快乐乐地去。”
