The Cause And Effect Sutra
Had you guys heard of "The Cause And Effect Sutra"? I found that contents are quite interesting so I decided to borrowed this book from my colleague. It's about what you do in your previous life and how it effect you during present life. I listed out 10 most interesting one:-
Effect:Why in this life you have cars and various transportation facilities?
Cause:Because you have repaired broken bridges and paved roads for the benefit of others in your previous life.
Effect:Why in this life you are pretty and handsome?
Cause:Because you have respectfully offered flowers to the Buddha's altar in your previous life.
Effect:Why in this life you are an orphan?
Cause:Because you were a bird shooter in your previous life
Effect:Why in this life a son dies young?
Cause:Because you have committed killing by drowning a baby-girl in your previous life.
Effect:Why in this life you have no spouse?
Cause:Because you have committed adultery in your previous life.
Effect:Why in this life you have wry mouth?
Cause:Because you have intentionally blown out candles before the Buddha's altar in your previous life.
Effect:Why in this life you have lame-leg?
Cause:Because you were a robber in your previous life.
Effect:Why in this life you are born as a pig or dog?
Cause:Because you have deceived and harmed others in your previous life.

Effect:Why in this life you are born as a horse or an ox?
