an.1.44 Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)
44
“Mendicants, when I’ve comprehended the mind of a person whose mind is pure, I understand:
‘If this person were to die right now, they would be raised up to heaven.’
Why is that?
Because their mind is pure.
Purity of mind is the reason why some sentient beings, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.”
