5.64

The Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra also says: If there are beings who see sick people and give them hot decoctions and medicine to free them from the suffering of illness, upon the end of their lives they will be born in the Heaven of the Realm of Desire to enjoy the five sensory desires; when their lives end in that heaven, if they obtain a human body, they will be immensely rich and have much wealth. If one sees a sick person near death suffering from thirst-disease and gives this person cane-sugar syrup or ice water, upon the end of life they will be born in the Cool Heaven to enjoy heavenly bliss; when their life ends in that heaven and they obtain a human body, they will forever be free from hunger and thirst.
