From this videoconference talk from 19 April 2019, Ajahn Anan discusses Venerable Rahula, the son of the Buddha.

An excerpt: "Venerable Rahula had made a lot of parami in uncountable lifetimes. He had made the determination in the past to be foremost in being intent in learning and training. Upon coming to this life, his aspirations were realised through his spiritual determination."
