Buddha says that the person you've married now is just the one who buried you in the past life.

 

Once upon a time, a white-face bookstudent made an engagement to his fiancee that they would marry in the not-far future. But on that pointed day his fiancee got married to another guy.

 

Worn out, the poor guy fell, seriously ill. Then a palmer passed by and went to him after hearing of that.On seeing him, the palmer carried out a mirror from his bosom and asked the poor guy to look into...

 

In the mirror, the poor guy saw a boundless sea, with a murdered gir lying naked on the beach.

 

A man walked by, glancing at the girl body, shook his head and left.

 

Then near came another man, pulling off his clothes, covered the body and went away.

 

Soon after that, a third man appeared, diggine a hole in the sand, and buried the girl corpse with great care.

 

And then the monk explained the girl corpse on the beach was his fiancee in the previous birth.

 

And he was the second guy passing by on the beach, offering her an article of clothing.

 

She fell in love with him only to pay him a love debt.

 

However, the person she eventually wanted to repay from the cradle to the grave was the one who finally buried her on the beach.

 

Because that person was her real husband now.

 

At last the poor guy thoroughly understood and came to his senses.
