Six Paths Reincarnation / Saḍ-Gati Saṃsāra
Excerpt from "Uncovering the mystery of lost past life memories from Buddhist scriptures"
You think: When you die, except for the merits of the Dharma, nothing else can be taken away with you, and nothing else will be helpful. That is to say, when death comes, all our blessings will be destroyed by death.
In the "Da zhidu lun", it is said that there is a possibility that ants can become Buddhas in front of us.
Don't take it as an ant crawling on the ground now, if the ant's bad karma is exhausted, maybe its good roots will quickly manifest, that its cultivation may be even better than ours, and it will become a Buddha before us.
It was unpredictable for ordinary people. Whether you see an ant, a pig, a cow, or a sheep, it's really hard to know if it's going to become a Buddha before you. If you have a good relationship with it, and when it became a Buddha, you will be ferried by It.
