About longevity, the following story makes a point. A disciples of the Venerable Atisha violated the precept and died after getting involved in a village dispute. Upon hearing the news, the Venerable Atisha noted with sorrows, "If he died three years earlier, he would have died a bhikku adept in the Tripitaka." This means that if he died three years earlier, he would have died a bhikku with pure vow and great knowledge in the Tripitaka. But he died a different person with a tainted reputation three years later. Therefore, having longevity is not necessarily a good fortune. Some beings may end up committing more negative karma with extended life span.
