“Baiklah, dengan mengetahui dan melihat demikian, apakah kalian dengan mata dewa yang jernih melampaui penglihatan manusia, melihat makhluk-makhluk meninggal dunia dan terlahir kembali—yang hina dan yang mulia, yang cantik dan yang buruk, yang bertujuan baik atau bertujuan buruk—dan memahami bagaimana makhluk-makhluk mengikuti perbuatan mereka? ‘Makhluk-makhluk yang terhormat ini, karena memiliki perilaku buruk melalui tubuh, ucapan, dan pikiran, mencela para mulia, berpandangan salah, dan bertindak berdasarkan pandangan salah itu, setelah kematian, saat hancurnya tubuh, terlahir di alam sengsara, alam buruk, alam rendah, neraka. Namun makhluk-makhluk yang terhormat ini, karena memiliki perilaku baik melalui tubuh, ucapan, dan pikiran, tidak mencela para mulia, berpandangan benar, dan bertindak berdasarkan pandangan benar itu, setelah kematian, saat hancurnya tubuh, terlahir di alam baik, alam surga.’ Demikianlah, dengan mata dewa yang jernih melampaui penglihatan manusia, apakah kalian melihat makhluk-makhluk meninggal dunia dan terlahir kembali—yang hina dan yang mulia, yang cantik dan yang buruk, yang bertujuan baik atau bertujuan buruk—dan memahami bagaimana makhluk-makhluk mengikuti perbuatan mereka?”
“Well, knowing and seeing thus, do you, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place—and understand how sentient beings pass on according to their deeds? ‘These dear beings did bad things by way of body, speech, and mind. They denounced the noble ones; they had wrong view; and they chose to act out of that wrong view. When their body broke up, after death, they were reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. These dear beings, however, did good things by way of body, speech, and mind. They never denounced the noble ones; they had right view; and they chose to act out of that right view. When their body broke up, after death, they were reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.’ And so, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, do you see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. And do you understand how sentient beings pass on according to their deeds?”
