Graduation Sutta - Buddhism - translated by Bhikkhu Sujato
Sāriputta visits a sectarian hermitage and hears them saying that someone who lives the spiritual life for twelve years is fit to graduate. The Buddha rejects this, saying that a mendicant is qualified to graduate not merely by completing a certain number of years, but because of their spiritual qualities.
