Buddha spoke of cause and effect:

First: The wife in this life is someone you buried in a past life, here to repay unfinished kindness.

Second: The wealth in this life is the generosity you showed in a past life, returning the favor for your past generosity and sharing.

Third: The children in this life are creditors or blessings from previous lives, collecting debts or repaying kindness, all entangled in the cause and effect of past lives.

Fourth: The soulmate friends in this life are travel companions from a past life, who have weathered storms together, continuing the bond in this life.

Fifth: The hardships encountered in this life are the fruits of bad deeds created in previous lives, enduring trials to eliminate karmic obstacles, thereby gaining spiritual enlightenment.

Sixth: The talents in this life are the results of diligent study of wisdom in past lives, accumulated drops eventually forming a gift, now shining brilliantly.

Seventh: The enemies in this life are grudges formed in past lives, unresolved hatred continues in the cycle of reincarnation, resolving enmity brings peace.

Eighth: The beauty in this life is the external manifestation of a kind heart from past lives, fortune arises from a kind mind, graceful demeanor is cherished by time.

Ninth: The residence in this life is the interaction of good connections and karma from past lives, whether comfortable or humble, all are part of the cause and effect tapestry.

Tenth: The reputation in this life is the legacy of virtue and achievements from past lives, whether praised or infamous, all transform in the cycle of reincarnation.
