In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesSariputta and Moggallana are staying at the Kalanda kanivapa and, in the course of their conversation, it transpires that Moggallana, exercising clairvoyance and clairaudience, had seen and heard the Buddha, then dwelling in Jetavana. The subject of his talk was consummate energy (araddhaviriya). Sariputta declares that, in comparison with Moggallana, he himself is like a mound of gravel set up alongside the Himalaya. Moggallana returns the compliment by saying that, beside Sariputta, he is like a pinch of salt set up alongside a large jar of salt, and recalls the high praise bestowed on Sariputta by the Buddha himself. S.ii.275f.
