Having Right ViewSammādiṭṭhikasutta

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Mendicants, I’ve seen beings who engaged in good conduct of body, speech, and mind, who did not denounce the noble ones, who held right view and acted accordingly.“Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyasucaritena samannāgatā vacīsucaritena samannāgatā manosucaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ anupavādakā sammādiṭṭhikā sammādiṭṭhikammasamādānā. At the breaking up of the body, after death, they were reborn in a good destination, a heavenly realm.Te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapannā.

Now, I don’t say this because I’ve heard it from some other ascetic or brahmin.Taṁ kho panāhaṁ, bhikkhave, nāññassa samaṇassa vā brāhmaṇassa vā sutvā vadāmi. I only say it because I’ve known, seen, and realized it for myself.”Api ca, bhikkhave, yadeva sāmaṁ ñātaṁ sāmaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sāmaṁ viditaṁ tadevāhaṁ vadāmi.

The Buddha spoke this matter.Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. On this it is said:Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“When the mind has been directed right,“Sammā manaṁ paṇidhāya, and words rightly spoken,sammā vācañca bhāsiya; and right bodily deeds have been done,Sammā kammāni katvāna, an individual herekāyena idha puggalo.

learned, doer of good deeds,Bahussuto puññakaro, though their life may be short,appasmiṁ idha jīvite; when their body breaks up, that wise personKāyassa bhedā sappañño, is reborn in heaven.”saggaṁ so upapajjatī”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
