If I remember correctly, in the sutta I‘m looking for, a dying lay follower talks to one of the Buddha‘s foremost disciples, asking for advanced teachings. The Buddha judges the man as spiritually mature enough to receive the teaching. Before dying, the man pleads with the Buddha to make this kind of knowledge available to a wider lay audience.

I love the fact that if I don’t see a sutta request in the first hour I can count on the fact that someone has already answered it. So appreciative of all the folks who participate here.
