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

‘May I become like the Bhikkhunis Khemā and Uppalavāṇṇā!’

“After all, Bhikkhus, this is the standard to which all my Bhikkhuni Sangha must compare and measure themselves with all the time, that is, Khemā and Uppalavāṇṇā.”
