The cousin who tried to kill the Buddha. Devadatta is Buddhism's arch-traitor, remembered across traditions as the monk who split the sangha and plotted murder in the faith's first generation.
About
Devadatta was a Buddhist monk, cousin and brother-in-law to Gautama Siddhārtha himself. By most accounts he turned against the teacher, leading a breakaway faction in the earliest days of the religion. The tradition casts him as evil and divisive — the schismatic who fractured the community from within. How much is history and how much is parable, the sources don't say. What remains is the shape of betrayal: the insider who broke faith.
