There’s no fruit or result of good and bad deeds. There’s no afterlife. There’s no such thing as mother and father, or beings that are reborn spontaneously. And there’s no ascetic or brahmin who is rightly comported and rightly practiced, and who describes the afterlife after realizing it with their own insight. > — The Fruits of the Ascetic Life - [Previous: 23.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.23.1) - [Next: 23.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.23.3) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.23) ## Translations (5) - [Наставление о плодах отшельничества](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2~ru-khantibalo.23.2) — Russian - [Atsiskyrimo vaisiai](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2~lt-piyadassi.23.2) — lt - [Die Früchte des Asketenlebens](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2~de-sabbamitta.23.2) — German - [The Fruits of the Ascetic Life](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2~en-sujato.23.2) — English - [Govor o plodovima asketskog života](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2~sr-brankokovacevic.23.2) — sr ## Linked texts (1) - [長阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.27.42) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.23.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.23.2) · Pramāṇa
