Āyācana Vagga “The Section on Aspiring”

130. “Bhikkhus, any Bhikkhu of mine who possesses strong faith and confidence in his heart, longing for perfection, should rightfully aspire to the following:

‘May I become like Sāriputta and Moggallāna!’

“After all, Bhikkhus, this is the standard to which all my Bhikkhu Sangha must compare and measure themselves with all the time, that is, Sāriputta and Moggallāna.”
