Dhamma - Five Visions of a Dying Man

Niraye aggikkhandho ca petalokañca andhakam,
tiracchanayoniñca mamsakkhandhañca manusam,
vimanam devalokamhi nimittam pañca dissare.

Those who will go to hell see the vision of a mass of fire,
those who will go to the world of the petas see darkness and gloom all-around,
those who will take birth as lower animals see visions of forests and animals and other creatures,
those who will take birth as human beings see the vision of their dead relations,
and those who will take birth in the celestial worlds have the vision of the heavenly palaces.
These are the five visions which usually appear before a dying person.
