Buddha and Christ agree on the reciprocal nature of the universe: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” —Jesus, Gospel of Luke 6:38 “Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts, happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow.” —Buddha, Dhammapada
