A Confident Mind

This was said by the Lord…
“Here, bhikkhus, some person has a confident mind. Having examined his mind with my mind, I know that if this person were to die at this time, as if carried there he would be placed in heaven. What is the reason for that? It is because his mind is confident. It is because of the mind’s confidence that some beings here, when the body perishes, are reborn after death in a good bourn, in a heavenly world.”

Understanding the confident mind
Of some person dwelling here,
The Buddha explained its meaning
In the presence of the bhikkhus.
If that person were to die
At this very moment now,
He would arise in a good bourn
Because of his confident mind.
As if they were carried off
And placed there, thus
Beings go to a good bourn
Because of mind’s confidence.
