佛說處處經 1.63

1.63

佛言：「昔一人往難比丘言：『人死識念思想所知皆滅，行道得定意所知亦滅，有何等異？』比丘報言：『俱滅，人死命盡神不滅，隨行所生，但微不可便，見所得不同，為善昇天、為惡入淵，以是為異。』」

The Buddha said: 'In the past, someone went to challenge a monk, saying: "When a person dies, consciousness, thought, and perceptions are all extinguished. When one practices the Way and attains mental concentration, what is known is also extinguished. What difference is there?" The monk replied: "Both are extinguished; yet when a person dies and life ends, the spirit is not extinguished, but takes rebirth according to its actions. It is merely subtle and cannot be immediately seen. What they obtain is different: doing good leads to ascending to heaven, while doing evil leads to falling into the abyss. It is in this that they differ."'
