And I could present an argument that it is not so. First of all, what is
"moral integrity?" Its either a purely conscious notion that dies with=20
the brain, or its higher or "good" skandhas. Having "good" karma
will help the quality of the afterlife as well as the quality of the =
next
life, but psychological integrity after death, as I understand it, only=20
comes about through training during life, usually in the form of doing
yoga or magic. Death is a lot like sleep. Morals have little to do
with the ability to have lucid dreams, for example.
