Chief disciple of Gautama Buddha
One of Buddhism's original A-list disciples, Śāriputra got top billing alongside Maudgalyāyana in the Buddha's inner circle. He shaped Abhidharma philosophy and became a recurring character across Buddhist texts, often cast as the foil to Hinayana thinking.
Śāriputra was one of the top disciples of the Buddha. He is considered the first of the Buddha's two chief male disciples, together with Maudgalyāyana. Śāriputra had a key leadership role in the ministry of the Buddha and is considered in many Buddhist schools to have been important in the development of the Buddhist Abhidharma. He frequently appears in Mahayana sutras, and in some sutras, is used as a counterpoint to represent the Hinayana school of Buddhism.
