‘ The bhikkhus said to the venerable Maha Kassapa “ Venerable sir, there is the venerable Ananda.Though he is only an Initiate, still he is incapable of going to an unhappy destination through desire, anger, delusion, or fear. He has mastered in the Blessed One’s presence much of the True Idea and Discipline of wide variety. Let the Elder include the venerable Ananda in his convocation too ”.
