The chapter 'Trainees and Adepts' says: 'The Buddha said: "Ānanda and I together in the presence of King of Empty Space Buddha simultaneously gave rise to the aspiration for bodhi. Ānanda constantly delighted in extensive learning, while I was constantly diligent and energetic. Therefore, I have already attained anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi, whereas Ānanda protects and upholds my Dharma."' (The Wenju says: 'In the past having given rise to the great aspiration together with me, he was my fellow student. Because of my diligence, I surpassed him in advance and attained Buddhahood; because of his extensive learning, he still upholds the sūtra.')
