1"Bhikkhus, possessing two qualities, with the breakup of the body, after death, someone here is reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world. What two? (225) Non-anger and non-hostility … (226) Non-denigration and non-insolence … (227) Non-envy and non-miserliness … (228) Non-deceitfulness and non-craftiness … (229) Moral shame and moral dread. Possessing these two qualities, with the breakup of the body, after death, someone here is reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world."
