I watched a TV that day and said that the Buddha said that it would take five hundred years to look back in this life, but what is a thousand years? I remember it was a poem,

Buddha said: build a boat in a hundred years and a pillow in a thousand years. In fact, passing by in the vast sea of people is also a kind of fate, which means that there are still too many people in this world who have no chance to meet each other.

I hope it helps
