an.2.225-229 Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)

225–229
“When they have two things, some people—when their body breaks up, after death—are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.
What two?
Freedom from anger and hostility … freedom from disdain and contempt … freedom from jealousy and stinginess … freedom from deceit and deviousness … conscience and prudence.
When they have these two things, some people—when their body breaks up, after death—are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.
