SuttaAlso known as Pacchābhūmaka Sutta
A discourse in which a village headman asks the Buddha whether he can send people to heaven, as certain brahmins of the western borderlands claim to do, and the Buddha explains that a person’s destiny depends solely on the life he leads.
v.l. Pacchābhūmaka Sutta.– Once, when the Buddha was at the Pāvārikambavana (Pāvārika’s mango grove), Asibandhakaputta visited him and asks if he claims to be able to send men to heaven as do the Pacchābhūmaka brahmins.
The Buddha explains to him that a man’s destiny depends on the life he leads; no one else can send him to heaven or to a place of suffering. S.iv.311 f.
