33. Behaviour (2)

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Dvīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato puggalo yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.

Katamehi dvīhi?

Bhaddakena ca sīlena, bhaddikāya ca diṭṭhiyā.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, dvīhi dhammehi samannāgato puggalo yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.

Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Bhaddakena ca sīlena,

bhaddikāya ca diṭṭhiyā;

Etehi dvīhi dhammehi,

yo samannāgato naro;

Kāyassa bhedā sappañño,

saggaṁ so upapajjatī”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.

This was said by the Lord…

“Possessing two things, bhikkhus, a person is placed in heaven as if carried there. What are the two things? Good behaviour and a good view. These are the two things…”

If a person possesses these two things—
Good behaviour and a good view—
When his body perishes
That wise one is reborn in heaven.
