Mae Bua Sai passed away in 2522. 

Luang Phor Plian Panyapatipo was curious to know where she was reborn, so he determined his mind to find out. 

Phra Ajaan Plian was able to see a divine palace surrounded by beautiful, soft and smooth golden-hued grass. 

There were also rows and rows of well-arranged heavenly roses around which made the whole place very pleasant. 

Finally, a Thep Tida (female deity) descended from the golden palace dressed in green. She asked whether Phra Ajaan Plian was here to see Mae? 

Luang Phor replied that yes he was, and the Thep Tida transformed into Mae Bua Sai, as how she used to look when she was alive - just to make sure that they got the right person. 

Luang Phor then nagged her for not coming to visit the temple at all after she was reborn. 

The Thep Tida told Luang Phor that it was very comfortable in heaven and therefore she didn’t really feel like leaving her palace. 

There was much happiness and contentment, on a level way beyond what she had expected. 

So much so that she forgot about her earthly life. 

And especially about the bothersome and troublesome things on earth. 

When Mae was still alive she used to go to the temple everyday. Mae Bua Sai will be holding a lot of flowers and she will also provide clean water for the novice monks. 

Moreover, she is always meticulous regarding the cleanliness and orderliness of the place, making sure the temple premises are swept and kept clean. 

Mae Bua Sai was also a kind-hearted person. If there was a poor person who came to the temple, she would give him or her some money and some fish and food to eat. 

Wherever she would got to tamboon, people would want to join her and some would offer her money to make merit. 

Phra Ajaan Plian said that when the devaputtas’ and theptidas’ time in heaven is up, the good divine beings look forward to be reborn as human beings to create even more goodness and develop themselves and their parami. 

But when they are reborn as humans, they often forget their noble intention and get lost and obsessed by the pleasures in the world and not perform the good deeds they intended. In the end, they fall to an even lower status than what they were used to.
