Ajahn Sujato discusses from SN47.12 from the Samyutta Nikaya: Nalanda Sutta, "At Nalanda".
Read SN47.12 here on Sutta Central.
"Sāriputta boldly claims that no-one has ever, or will ever, be more enlightened than the Buddha. He admits that he can read the minds of all the Buddhas, but he understands a principle of the Dhamma: all those who become awakened do so by giving up the five hindrances, practicing the four kinds of mindfulness meditation, and developing the seven awakening factors," Sutta Central.
