Does karma really exist? What is wealth ultimately related to?

The concept of karma and reincarnation in Taoism is one of its core doctrines, emphasizing that good and evil actions inevitably lead to corresponding rewards and punishments. Beings cycle through the “Five Realms” (or paths), and the ultimate goal of cultivation is to break free from this cycle and unite with the Dao. This system is based on the principle of “the cycle of heavenly order” as a natural law, focusing on the impact of present actions on destiny rather than fatalism.
The Five Realms of reincarnation embody the inevitability of good and evil karma, with specific classifications as follows:
Divine Realm: Those who do good and accumulate virtue ascend to the realm of gods, enjoying the blessings of tranquility.
Human Realm: Those with a mix of good and evil are reborn as humans and need to continue their cultivation.
Animal Realm: Those who commit fewer wrongdoings are reduced to beasts, driven by instincts.
Hungry Ghost Realm: Those who engage in greed and stinginess fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, often suffering from hunger and thirst.
Hell Realm: Those with heavy sins fall into hell and endure punishment and purgation.
The accumulation of wealth requires actively planting good causes. Whether through hard work, accumulating good deeds, or maintaining a proactive mindset, these positive actions are like sowing seeds, laying the foundation for future wealth. As the ancients said, "Plant melons to get melons, plant beans to get beans," emphasizing the importance of sustained positive input. At the same time, the effects of karma may take time to manifest, so patience and perseverance are key.
Therefore, one must firmly hold onto their beliefs, change their thoughts and cultivation, enter a positive cycle of karma, and naturally be able to earn money.
