Five Precepts.
“Anuruddha, when a woman possesses five qualities, when her body breaks up, after death, she is reborn in a good destination, a heavenly realm. What five? She does not kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, lie, or consume beer, wine, and other intoxicants that cause negligence. When a woman possesses these five qualities, when her body breaks up, after death, she is reborn in a good destination, a heavenly realm.”
