but the Buddha simply & literally said here: "if the mind has long been nurtured with conviction, nurtured with virtue, nurtured with learning, nurtured with relinquishment, nurtured with discernment then this leads (gamani) the mind (citta) to becoming (hoti) lofty (uddha) and distinguished/noble (visesa)

OK thanks Deshy.

On reflection I don't think there's a lot of point in people who don't understand Pali attempting to taking part in a topic like this, because if one doesn't understand Pali, then theres nothing that can actually be discussed.

So how does this relate to death which is also mentioned in the sutta.? (Question meant for someone who is studying Pali, please )

It seems very basic to have a sutta which is just saying that if the mind is lofty/ noble then one will have a good death.

One also doesn't even need to be practising the Dharma to be able to figure out that if one has an accepting, calm mind then it would make the suffering of death easier.
