23.58

'Furthermore, by what cause and condition does he obtain a long lifespan? By what cause and condition is his body free from illness? By what cause and condition is his household harmonious and compliant, never separated?' The Buddha told the prince: 'Because of not killing living beings, his lifespan is long when born as a human. Because of not striking people with swords or staves, he is free from illness when born as a human later on. Because of reconciling quarrels and bringing about joy when seeing conflict, he does not suffer separation when born as a human later on.'
