The Buddha exhorts the monks at Jetavana to strive earnestly to be heirs, not of the world's goods, but of the Doctrine. On the Buddha's departure the monks gather round Sāriputta und ask him how the Buddha expects them to cultivate the inner life mit the same aloofness as does the Buddha himself, und Sāriputta delivers a discourse (M.i.12ff).
This sutta is often referred to (z.B., Mil.242; Sp.iii.694) as teaching the virtues of contentment.
