Make Up For the Mistakes 弥补错误的方法

Q. If a wrong is done, how can it be reversed or undone?
问：如果我们犯了错，要怎样才能补救或消除？
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 relationship 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.
答：试着做相反的事去补偿。不但停止犯错，还要开始做或继续做对的事。不但不偷别人的东西，还要帮助穷人、帮助真正需要的人，那才是真正地改正错误。例如说，你已经有了一个丈夫，结果又和另一个男人有染。比如，这只是比如而已。现在你感到很后悔，已经中止了那种关系，不再和对方做那样的事，因为你的丈夫不喜欢这样。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，让他感觉好一些，让你的家庭关系变得更稳固，让你自己、你的先生和孩子更快乐。这才是悔改自己错误行为的积极的态度和行为——不但不再犯错，还必须做对的事。
Once Gandhi 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.”
有一次甘地听到一个印度教徒说：“我要下地狱了！我杀了一个回教徒，因为有个回教徒杀了我的孩子。”然后他问：“现在我该怎么办？无论如何我一定会下地狱的。”
So Gandhi 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.”
甘地对他说：“我知道一条通往地狱出口的路。你去认养一个孤儿，让他变成一名回教徒，弥补你以前所做的事。也许你还是会下地狱，但至少你的良心没有愧疚。你就会知道，你自己已经尽最大的努力去弥补这个错误了，而且你的一切所行，也让别人快乐。这样至少你去地狱时，会快快乐乐地去。
