### [55.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.55.27)

又百喻經云。昔有愚人。其婦端正情甚愛重。婦無真信。後於中間共他交往。邪婬心盛。欲逐傍夫。捨離己婿。於是密語一老母言。我去之後。汝可齎一死婦女尸安著屋中語我夫言。云我已死。老母於後伺其夫主不在之時。以一死尸置其家中。及其夫還老母語言。汝婦已死。夫即往視信是己婦。哀哭懊惱。大𧂐薪油燒取其骨。以囊盛之晝夜懷挾。婦於後時心厭傍夫。便還歸家語其夫言。我是汝妻。夫答之言。我婦久死。汝是阿誰。妄言我婦。乃至二三。猶故不信如彼外道聞他邪說。心生惑著。謂為真實。永不可改。雖聞正教不信受持。

> Furthermore, the Baiyu jing says: In the past, there was a foolish man whose wife was beautiful and whom he loved dearly. The wife had no true loyalty; later, in between, she had illicit relations with another man. Driven by intense lust, she wished to run off with her lover and abandon her husband. Thereupon she secretly said to an old woman: "After I leave, you should take the corpse of a dead woman, place it inside the room, and tell my husband that I have died." Afterwards, the old woman watched for a time when her husband was away, placed a corpse in his house, and when her husband returned, the old woman said to him: "Your wife has died." The husband went to see it, believed it was his wife, and wept with grief and sorrow. He gathered abundant firewood and oil, cremated the body to collect the bones, placed them in a bag, and carried them in his bosom day and night. Later on, the wife grew weary of her lover, returned home, and said to her husband: "I am your wife." The husband replied: "My wife died long ago! Who are you to falsely claim to be my wife?" Even after she repeated it two or three times, he still did not believe her. Just like those non-Buddhists who, hearing the false teachings of others, generate confusion and attachment in their minds, consider them to be true, and can never change; though they hear the correct teaching, they do not believe, accept, or uphold it.
