The monk Chu Lai was beaten by a teacher who did not believe anything he said. However, the professorâs wife was a follower of Chu Lai, and demanded that her husband had to apologize to him.
Displeased, but without the courage to deny his wifeâs wishes, the man went to the temple with her and murmured some words of repentance.
âI do not forgive you,â replied Chu Lai, âgo back to work.â
The woman was horrified. âMy husband is humiliated, and you were not generous!â
And Chu Lai responded
âWithin my soul there is no rancor. But if he is not truly sorry, it is better for him to recognize now that he is mad at me. If I had accepted his apology, we would be creating a false state of harmony, and this would further increase the anger of your husband.â
