11. Gabbham eke uppajjanti
nirayam pàpakammino
Saggam sugatino yanti
parinibbanti anàsavà. 126.
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.

12. Na antaëikkhe na samuddamajjhe
na pabbatànam vivaram pavissa
Na vijjati so jagatippadeso
yatthaññhito muñceyya pàpakammà. 127.
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.

Ten Perfections, The: A Study Guide
By Ajaan Lee Dhammadaro
For people in the modern world facing the issue of how to practice the Dhamma in daily life, the ten perfections provide a useful framework for how to do it. When you view life as an opportunity to develop these ten qualities— generosity, virtue, renunciation, discernment, persistence, endurance, truth, determination, good will, and equanimity—you develop a fruitful attitude toward your daily activities so that any skillful activity or relationship, undertaken wisely and in a balanced way, becomes part of the practice.
The perfections also provide one of the few reliable ways of measuring the accomplishments of one’s life. “Accomplishments” in the realm of work and relationships have a way of turning into dust, but perfections of the character, once developed, are dependable and lasting, carrying one over and beyond the vicissitudes of daily living. Thus they deserve to take high priority in the way we plan our lives. These two facts are reflected in the two etymologies offered for the word perfection (parami): They carry one across to the further shore (para); and they are of foremost (parama) importance in formulating the purpose of one’s life.

Bhikkhus, there are these five defilements of gold, defiled by which gold is not malleable, wieldy, and luminous, but brittle and not properly fit for work. What five? Iron, copper, tin, lead, and silver. But when gold is freed from these five defilements, it is malleable, wieldy, and luminous, pliant and properly fit for work. Then whatever kind of ornament one wishes to make from it—whether a bracelet, earrings, a necklace, or a golden garland—one can achieve one’s purpose.
“So too, bhikkhus, there are these five defilements of the mind, defiled by which the mind is not malleable, wieldy, and luminous, but brittle and not properly concentrated for the destruction of the taints. What five? Sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt. But when the mind is freed from these five defilements, it becomes malleable, wieldy, and luminous, pliant and properly concentrated for the destruction of the taints.
Partially excerpted from AN 5.23 Upakkilesasutta : Defilements

“They adorned the Blessed One’s body with all kinds of ornaments, anointed it with perfumes, and honored it with their bodies—showing respect and reverence. They consecrated the stupa with dances, songs, music, garlands, perfumes, and ointments. After circumambulating the stupa clockwise, they paid homage and departed.”
