Rebirth with the Devas

[Nicholas Weeks]

There are some suttas where Buddha talks about the after death realms. The one in this link even says that if one lives a Dhammic life and aspires to reappear among any of the deva realms after the body's death, "it is possible". A heavenly respite, I for one, would welcome.

Dear members

As the OP has posted in the Classical Theravada forum, the special guidelines for this forum apply.

The Abhidhamma and Classical Theravada sub-forums are specialized venues for the discussion of the Abhidhamma and the classical Mahavihara understanding of the Dhamma. Within these forums the Pali Tipitaka and its commentaries are for discussion purposes treated as authoritative. These forums are for the benefit of those members who wish to develop a deeper understanding of these texts and are not for the challenging of the Abhidhamma and/or Theravada commentarial literature.

Posts should also include support from a reference or a citation (Tipitaka, commentarial, or from a later work from an author representative of the Classical point-of-view).

Posts that contain personal opinions and conjecture, points of view arrived at from meditative experiences, conversations with devas, blind faith in the supreme veracity of one's own teacher's point of view etc. are all regarded as off-topic, and as such, will be subject to moderator review and/or removal.

Thanks for your cooperation.
