Buddhist Stories: The Merit of Becoming a Renunciate, Part 7 of 8, Aug. 8, 2015

If anyone keeps the Ten Precepts, and then uses that merit to wish to be born in Heaven, being a god, a high god in Heaven, or if any person keep the precepts very, very diligently, correctly and then always does the charity work, and then he keeps all these good precepts, and then when he dies he will feel peaceful. I’m glad that you know it’s good for you, I’m glad that you are intelligent, knowing what’s right, what’s wrong and follow the right thing. Birth and death keep running like a wheel that has never stopped. But good deeds and bad sins, the punishment and the reward, are very, very exact; there has never been anything missing, and never have any failure and never any mistake. No one can escape.
