The Buddha's teachings about faithfulness in love

Late at night, in a temple, there was a person kneeling at the feet of the Buddha who told him about love.

Person: Lord Buddha, I am a married man, I am in love with another woman, I really do not know how to do?

Buddha: Can you identify the woman you are in love with as the last and only woman in my life?

People: Yes.

Buddha: Divorce, then take her?

People: But wife and children today gentle, honest, gentle sage. You leave her a bit ruthless, there is no virtue, Lord Buddha?

Buddha: In marriage there is no new love is cruel and takes the moral. I love someone now, do not love my wife anymore. Children do so is correct.

Man: But my wife loves me so much, I really love you, Lord Buddha.

Buddha: So your wife is happy.

Person: After you divorce your wife to get married, your wife and children will be very miserable, why happy, Buddha?

Buddha: In marriage, your wife still has love for me, but I have lost a love for my wife and children.Because I love others, because of happiness, loss of new suffering, so the suffering is the child.

Man: But you cut off your wife, then marry another, so she lost her child, she is always suffering.

Buddha: I'm mistaken, I'm just a wife True love in marriage. When a person like me does not exist, the true love of his wife and children will continue to another person, because the true love of his wife and children in marriage never lost before, so his wife and children are new. happy, new child is suffering.

Man: My wife has said this life only love her only. She will not love anyone else.

Buddha: Did you say that too?

Person: I ... I ... I ...


Buddha: Now I look at three candles in the incense burner in front, see which light is best?

Person: I do not really know, apparently all are the same.

Buddha: Three candles like three women. One tops is the woman you are in love with. Many beings, women are only ten million hundred million ... Even one of the three candles, the lightest one I do not know, nor find the child who is in love, then how do you determine the person Woman is the last and only woman in my life?

Person: I ... I ... I ...

Buddha: Now I hold a candle in front of my eyes to see which light is best?

Person: Of course the tops of the front are brightest.

Buddha: Now I put it in the old place, again see which light is the most bright.

Person: You really do not see the brightest one.

Buddha: Actually the candle I hold just like the last woman I'm in love with, the love that arises from the heart, when I feel love it, to mind watching, I will see it brightest. When you leave it in place, you will not find the lightest feeling. The so-called last and only love of the child is the flower in the moon under the water, after all, the only zero, an empty love.

Person: I understand, not the Buddha told me to divorce in a hurry, the Buddha is mantra to make the gurus.

Buddha: See through will not say white, go away!

Man: Now that you know who I really love, that person is the wife and the child today, Buddha.

Buddha: Amitabha Buddha ...

Concluding: The truth of happiness is not waiting in the next life, and without looking for another place, truth can exist now and here. In every one of us, there is a genuine source of happiness, but people do not know how to look at this happiness, but to search for that false happiness.
