Pacchābhūmaka Sutta (=Mataka Sutta)
Once, when the Buddha was at the
Pāvārika ambavana,
Asibandhakaputta visits him and asks if
he claims to be able to send men heavenwards 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.311f.
