In this sutta, the Buddha asks his disciples to be his heirs in the Dhamma, not heirs to material things. He cites an interesting example of 2 monks, one who eats the Buddha's leftover meal (material heir), and the one who declines the leftover food and goes hungry for the day (heir in dhamma practice). The 2nd monk is praised.
