Master JiGong asked,

"How must you continue to manage your happy family?

In correcting oneself, practising truth and wisdom

It is absolutely not to let you take the affinity of this life

To create some bad affinity in the coming lives

If you cannot settle the affinity of this life completely

Then you will have to encounter some bad affinity in the coming lives"

Divorce is very common nowadays

I have a few friends who are divorcees, men and women

Recently a friend of mine came to the temple

Suddenly she said she wanted to divorce her husband

Knowing her husband I could understand her

She was already in the 40’s and still charming and her husband late 50’s

It happened that a TAO master was around at that time

The master repeated the sayings of Master JiGong

About affinity and the coming lives that we could not escape

After listening, it was still difficult for her to carry on the ‘torture’

She could not bear it any more, she said 

But at least she had cooled down after listening

I would not know whether she would proceed one day

To divorce and lead a new life which was sometimes frightening to imagine

As a man I understood that at times we forgot how to treasure the good time

And did not give but took it easy

Until it was too late to rectify and mend the damages

Then suddenly it became valuable and precious

Loneliness and uncertainty then became fear

Not knowing how to cope with the new life

People who are in want to get out

People who do not have want to have

This is very common and fantasized by a lot of people

Whether you are in or out

Whether you have or not have

Affinity and happy family are usually not up to us to choose

By correcting oneself, practising the truth and using wisdom

The good karma will bring better affinity to emerge and form

Wish you best of luck.
