The encounter between past lives and afterlife is a part of Buddhism's reincarnation thought, which holds that people's souls will continue to cycle and experience different life forms until they reach the realm of liberation. This thought has a deep historical origin in the traditional culture of China, and it has also become the theme of many literary works and folklore.
Although the story of Yu Lin's reincarnation is fictional, it reflects people's pursuit of life and emotion, and also conveys the cultural value of Buddhist reincarnation. At the same time, this story also reminds people to cherish their immediate life and emotions and constantly pursue inner liberation and sublimation.
