Then the wanderer Sāriputta went to the wanderer Moggallāna. When Moggallāna saw him coming, he said to Sāriputta, “Your senses are clear and your skin is pure and bright. You haven’t attained freedom from death, have you?” “I have.” “But how did it happen?”

Sāriputta told him everything up to and including the teaching given by Assaji. When he had heard this teaching, Moggallāna experienced the stainless vision of the Truth: “Anything that has a beginning has an end.” “Now this is the truth, even just this much—The sorrowless state that you have penetrated, Unseen and neglected For innumerable eons.”
