Furthermore, the *Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna Sūtra* states: "If there are sentient beings with pure faith who give lands, groves, and parks to the Saṃgha for the monks to use, at the end of their lives they are reborn in the Gandharva Heaven, surrounded by celestial maidens, indulging in pleasures a hundredfold. If there are sentient beings who, with a well-cultivated mind, construct houses for public benefit to shelter others from cold and heat and provide them for people's use, at the end of their lives they are reborn in the Heaven of Constant Indulgence, amusing themselves with the five desires. When their lives in heaven end, if they obtain a human body, they become royal grand preceptors."
