65. Sucaritasuttam (Good Conduct leads to Heaven)

This was said by the Lord Buddha(Bhagavata), said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Monks, there are these three kinds of good conduct. Which three? Bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, mental good conduct. These are the three kinds of good conduct.”

Having abandoned bodily misconduct, acts of verbal misconduct, misconduct of mind, & whatever else is flawed, not having done what’s not skillful, having done much that is, at the break-up of the body, the discerning one reappears in heaven.
