Then Venerable Anuruddha went up to the Buddha … and said to him: “Sometimes, sir, with my clairvoyance that’s purified and superhuman, I see that a female—when her body breaks up, after death—is reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. How many qualities do females have so that they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm?”

“Anuruddha, when they have five qualities females—when their body breaks up, after death—are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. What five? They’re faithful, conscientious, prudent, free of anger, and wise. When they have these five qualities females—when their body breaks up, after death—are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.”
