Fate is an important concept. It refers to a certain cause or effect relationship between people and between people and things. Buddhists believe that everything in the world has cause and effect, and fate is one of the manifestations of this cause and effect.
Fate is a kind of causal relationship, and its depth depends on the complexity and influence of the cause. Karma is complex, and it involves causes and conditions in past, present, and future lives. If the karma between two people is relatively simple, then their fate is relatively shallow; If the karma relationship is complex and influential, then their fate is deeper.
Secondly, the depth of fate is also related to personal practice. If a person cultivates better, then his fate will be deeper; On the other hand, if a person's cultivation is not enough, then his fate will be relatively shallow. This is because practice can change one's inner world, making one's state of mind more tolerant, peaceful, and kind, making it easier to interact and connect well with others.
In addition, the depth of fate is also affected by external factors. For example, the social environment, family background, cultural traditions, etc., may affect the fate between people. Sometimes, two people are very different in some ways, but if they are more closely related, then they may have a deep fate.
In short, the depth of fate is the result of a combination of karma, personal practice, and external factors. It is a complex relationship with both internal and external factors. Understanding the reasons for the depth of fate can help us better understand the relationship between people and better grasp the opportunities and destiny of life. At the same time, spiritual practice can also increase our relationship with others, making our lives more fulfilling and beautiful.
