The wise one who is well established in virtue gains fame in this world, and when he has passed away rejoices in heaven — he is said to rejoice everywhere.
The fool who is not established in virtue is blamed in this world, and when he has passed away grieves in a state of woe — he is said to grieve everywhere.
Whoever in this world is restrained in body, speech and mind, does no evil whatsoever, and does not speak rashly for his own sake — such a one they call virtuous.
Therefore virtuous women and men who keep the Uposatha with its eight factors, and make merit that yields happiness, are not blamed and go to a heavenly abode.
