"Now, Subhadda, in this Dhamma and discipline the Noble Eightfold Path is found but if in this one the monks were to live the life to perfection, the world would not lack for Arahants.
"Ānanda, either now or after I am gone, who dwell with themselves as their own island, with themselves as their own refuge, with no other refuge;
who dwell with the Dhamma as their island, with the Dhamma as their refuge, with no other refuge- it is these bhikkhus,
Ananda, who will be for me topmost of those keen on the training."
