Chinese Buddhism
十來 [shi lai]—The ten rhymes in "lai", a verse which expresses the Buddhist doctrine of moral determinism, i.e. that the position anyone now occupies is solely the result of his character in past lives; heredity and environment having nothing to do with his present condition, for, whether in prince or beggar, it is the reward of past deeds.
'The upright from the forbearing come,
The poor from the mean and greedy come,
Those of high rank from worshippers come,
The low and common from the Prideful come,
Those who are dumb from slanderers come,
The blind and deaf from unbelievers come,
The long-lived from the merciful come,
The short-lived from life, takers come,
The deficient in faculties from command-breakers come,
The complete in faculties from command-keepers come.

高位者禮拜中來 [gao wei zhe li bai zhong lai].
下賤者橋慢中來 [xia jian zhe qiao man zhong lai].
瘖啞者誹謗中來 [yin ya zhe fei bang zhong lai].
