1: The Book of the Ones
1. Obsession of the Mind - 44
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Here, bhikkhus, having encompassed a mentally placid person's mind with my own mind, I understand that if this person were to die at this time, he would be deposited in heaven as if brought there. For what reason? Because his mind is placid. [n.42] Mp: "(A mind) placid with faith and confidence" (saddhāpasādena pasannaṁ). It is because of mental placidity that with the breakup of the body, after death, some beings here are reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world."
1"Idhāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ekaccaṁ puggalaṁ pasannacittaṁ evaṁ cetasā ceto paricca pajānāmi: ‘imamhi ce ayaṁ samaye puggalo kālaṁ kareyya, yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge’. Taṁ kissa hetu? Cittaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, pasannaṁ. Cetopasādahetu pana, bhikkhave, evamidhekacce sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjantī"ti.
Catutthaṁ.
