佛說觀彌勒菩薩上生兜率天經 1.5

In the past, in the Vinaya and in various sūtra collections, the World-Honoured One declared that Ajita would next become a Buddha. Yet this Ajita possesses the body of an ordinary person and has not extinguished the contaminants. When this person dies, where will he be reborn? Although he has now gone forth as a monastic, he does not cultivate meditation nor does he sever afflictions. The Buddha prophesied that this person will achieve Buddhahood without doubt. In which land will this person be reborn after death?”
