BIRTH DEPENDS ON ACTIONS
11. Some are born 8 in a womb; evil-doers (are born) in woeful states; 9 the well-conducted go to blissful states; 10 the Undefiled Ones 11 pass away into Nibbàna. 126.
Story
Daily a monk used to visit the house of a lapidary, whose wife prepared alms for him. One day in the presence of the monk a bird that was being reared in the house swallowed a gem when the lapidary had gone inside. The lapidary, not finding the gem, inquired about it of the monk, who denied having taken it. But the lapidary, suspected the monk and mercilessly tortured him. Blood flowed from his body. The bird came to drink the blood. The lapidary kicked the bird and it died. Then the monk revealed what had happened. The lapidary ripped up the stomach of the bird and discovered the gem. He begged pardon from the monk. When the monks inquired the Buddha stated that actions determine birth.

When you’ve given up five mental obstacles, and expelled all corruptions, and cut off affection and hate, being independent, live alone like a horned rhino.
When you’ve put pleasure and pain behind you, and former happiness and sadness, and gained equanimity serene and pure, live alone like a horned rhino.
Not neglecting retreat and absorption, always living in line with the teachings, comprehending the danger in rebirths, live alone like a horned rhino.
One whose aim is the ending of craving—diligent, clever, learned, mindful, resolute—who has appraised the teaching and is bound for awakening, should live alone like a horned rhino.

The Sublime Attitudes
A Study Guide on the Brahmaviharas
By Thanissaro Bhikkhu
The sublime attitudes (brahmavihāras) are the Buddha’s primary heart teachings—the ones that connect most directly with our desire for true happiness. They’re the qualities of heart that motivated the Buddha to find awakening and then to teach the path of awakening to others. At the same time, they function as part of the path itself. This means that the wisdom of the Buddha’s teachings—its “head” aspect—has to be understood in terms of these heart qualities. At the same time, though, these heart qualities have to be understood in terms of the “head” teachings on how cause and effect, in our actions, can bring about genuine happiness. Only when head and heart are brought together in this way can the path yield its full results.

NOBODY IS EXEMPT FROM THE EFFECTS OF EVIL KAMMA
12. Not in the sky, nor in mid-ocean, nor in a mountain cave, is found that place on earth where abiding one may escape from (the consequences) of one's evil deed. 12 127.
Story
Three groups of monks went to see the Buddha. On their way one group saw a flying crow being burnt to death. Another group saw a woman being drowned in mid-ocean. The other group saw seven monks imprisoned in a cave for seven days. All of them wanted to know from the Buddha the reason for these occurrences. The Buddha related that the crow, as a farmer in a previous birth, had burnt a lazy ox to death, the woman had drowned a dog, and the monks, as cowherds in a previous life, had imprisoned an iguana in an anthill for seven days. The Buddha added that no one is exempt from the consequences of his or her past evil deeds.

So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. The Buddha said this:
“There are 32 marks of a great man. A great man who possesses these has only two possible destinies, no other. If he stays at home he becomes a king, a wheel-turning monarch, a just and principled king. [...] He has the following seven treasures: the wheel, the elephant, the horse, the jewel, the woman, the householder, and the commander as the seventh treasure. He has over a thousand sons who are valiant and heroic, crushing the armies of his enemies. After conquering this land girt by sea, he reigns by principle, without rod or sword. But if he goes forth from the lay life to homelessness, he becomes a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, who draws back the veil from the world.
And what are the 32 marks?
He is golden colored; his skin shines like lustrous gold.

All Heavens Bite
The late Thai reformist monk Buddhadasa Bhikkhu (1906–1993) on the sufferings inherent in even the highest of heavens.
By Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
In every cycle of dependent co-arising, there is existence and birth. Every time this flow takes us in, there is existence and birth. Physical birth out of our mother’s womb is not the problem; we need not make problems with being born physically. The problems do not start until there is spiritual birth. Because of ignorance and through clinging an ego-me is born. In the dhamma way of speaking, we include suffering with birth. The two are inseparable. As soon as ego-me is born, there is some form of distress or suffering. Birth is stressful, painful, and troublesome. Of course, we mean spiritual not physical birth.
Whether the cycle of dependent co-arising is dependent on eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or the mind-door, each cycle will include becoming and birth. Once there is birth, there is the big fat ego playing this role or that. That ego is heavy and suffers. Whatever the form of existence, and whatever sense experience it is based on, there appears the birth of this “I am,” the ego, playing its act, getting into trouble. This is something that requires special attention because we have been overlooking this for all of our lives. We have not been paying any attention to existence and to this birth of ego-me. This habit continues to churn along with almost everyone ignoring it. The time has now come to start paying attention to it, to understand it, and to find a way to get away from this endless spinning around in circles of dukkha.
An easy way to understand this is to reflect in terms of heaven or paradise (sagga). There is heaven even here in this world, in this life; and there is heaven in other worlds, wherever those may be. Let us consider the heavens of this world first. Whenever sexuality or sensuality is fulfilled and satisfied, that is paradise, a sexual or sensual heaven, a delicious kind of sensual existence. When we are thoroughly, perfectly happy with material things, that too is heaven, a kind of formish existence. When we are fulfilled and happy due to honor, fame, power, influence, and other immaterial things, that is a formless existence kind of heaven. Each of these heavens can be found here in this life.
If, however, we speak more traditionally and take the conservative, orthodox view based on the commentaries written long after the Buddha, the heavens are other worlds (paraloka). The heavenly worlds filled with sensual pleasures are sensual existence. The higher worlds full of joys based in fine material things, such as form-based samādhi, are heavens of formish existence. The highest levels of paradise come from developing samādhi until one is born as a Brahma god. In this scheme, sensuality is rather lower, form is superior, and formless is the highest. Yet, even the heavens of other worlds are still suffering because they are still existence.
The heavens of this world are dukkha. The heavens of other worlds that we cannot see but have heard about are suffering. Every heaven is stressful and burdensome. On the other hand, the arahants, the Worthy Ones, are beyond all worlds and have transcended the various heavens. One must be beyond the heavens of sensual existence, formish existence, and formless existence to be an arahant, the highest kind of person. It is necessary to be above heaven in all its meanings in order to be totally free, liberated from dukkha.
Every heaven is stressful and burdensome.
Let us come back to the heavens of this world; they’re easier to understand, more relevant, and can be seen clearly. Take a look at your friends, especially those who are young. Their heavens here are often in sexuality. They will invest anything, spend all their money, to fulfill their sexual joys. So they dwell mainly in such sensual existence. Even this heaven of theirs bites them. Because of it they undergo all sorts of difficulties, expenses, conflicts, competitions, and jealousy.

Sexual heavens, so common in this world, consume many of our friends.
Once their sexual searches lead to consummation in marriage, a higher or more refined level of heaven is found. With marriage there are children, a home, possessions, and wealth. These are heavens of formish existence. No matter how difficult it is to maintain these heavens, no matter how much people have, they cling to these heavens and suffer, unless there is sufficient dhamma understanding. Most people do not have enough dhamma, so these heavens bite their owners. The heavens of formish existence gnaw and devour; they even drive some people mad.
Climbing higher, people find the heavens of purely mental matters. Enjoying and delighting in great fame and prestigious awards such as Nobel Prizes are heavens of formless existence. These chew and chomp. Seduced into clinging to these exalted pleasures their hearts are heavy with jealousy and possessiveness, with fighting to preserve their existences. So the formless paradises also bite their owner. Whatever kind of heaven it may be— sexual, formish, or formless—each and every kind of existence turns and bites. Observe the existences of life around us and you will understand existence well. There is not any kind of existence that is free of suffering.
The existences connected with sex and sensuality have the usual problems, difficulties, jealousies, and conflicts with which you are familiar. The existences connected with simple materiality—with form, money, jewels, and possessions—have the problems and stress of the hard work and struggle to obtain, protect, and increase them. The existences connected with things having no form—matters like power, prestige, honor, reputation, virtue, and vice—all have their problems and difficulties. They all involve a lot of effort, concern, worry, and time. One can see that all three kinds of existence are fraught with trouble, cause problems, and bring distress.
There is not any kind of existence that is free of suffering.
Please take your study to the level that sees how every level of heaven and every kind of existence contains the devouring reactions known as defilements (kilesas). Each level has its corresponding defilement and all of them wound. There are things that bite, that inflict aches and pain, on every level of heaven and in every kind of existence. One cannot escape pain even in the highest heaven.
