Great Defeat
1. Sàriputta (Wisdom), the first wisdom.
He Sariputta [1] , the smaller Buddha few years old, born in the village of Upatissa (Nalaka), Nalanda district, the name father Vanganta [2] , mother Rupa name Sari. When he became pregnant, Sari suddenly became very intelligent, great teaching and preaching Vedas, more than her husband Vangantà and he was Dghanakha. He has three daughters, Cala, Upacala and Sisupacala, and three younger brothers, Cunda, Upasena and Revata. All three later brothers were ordained and attained Arahant [3] .
According to Xa-Loi Section-Lien Nhan Duyen in Buddha Hanh Kinh Kinh 48From early childhood, Saratipta had a good old-fashioned body, growing up learning the industry, understanding the four Vedas. At the age of 16, he discussed dressing up others, all of them in line. He became a celebrity in the village and was nicknamed Upatissa. He made friends with Moggallana in the nearby village of Kolita. One day, the two of them came to the solemn sacrifice ceremony in Ragaraha City, saw people have fun mixed, suddenly thought a hundred years later all the people who are present today are dead and the scene today will be complete. All other changes (life impermanent), two friends come together to find teachers. After addressing the contemporary masters, Sariputta and Moggallana came to life with Sanjaya, one of the six pagans. In just seven days, the two of them had mastered the teachings of the teacher and were assigned to the teacher, Can replace teachers to teach your fellow students. But Sariputta and Moggallana were not happy, they separated from each other and went to find Sariputta, south of Moggallana, Moggallàna to the north.
Soon, Sariputta was walking in rajagaha, suddenly encountering the great Assaji, begging for alms. Seeing the great virtue Assaji looks elegant, generous to go to court, he asked:
- fake gold glass, his ministry is pure and pure. Could you please tell me why you escaped secularism? Who is your teacher? Who do you spread the teachings?
- Dear friend, Assaji Venerable replied, prolific monk is just a preliminary monk, not enough ability to explain the Dharma fully and thoroughly for the dharma.
- False false eyelashes, the child is Sariputta in Upatissa village, respectfully ask the author of a little more education, I will try to find out what part or section. Please teach me some essential points, summing up some of the important teachings that you have learned.
- German tutor Gotama teaches a lot, but the increase is only in the following four verses. Then read the proverb read:
Ye dhamma hetuppabhava
tesam hetum tathagato.
Come in front of you
show the results
Does that mean :
The dhamma is due to the coast.
Tathagata has clearly explained the causes and conditions
And only the end of the law.
The great teachings like that. [4]
The four verses that just summarize the causal relationship of the birth of the destruction of all things (impermanent) and just the practice of liberation (termination of the law). Mr. Saratipta, who was very smart, had heard the first two words of the Sutàpatti. From that point forward, to show gratitude to Assaji Venerable, whenever he heard Assaji where he was, he turned his head and turned his head to it.
As committed, Sariputta went to find Moggallàna and read the four verses. After listening, Mr. Moggallana also attained the results. They went to their former teacher, Sanjaya Belatthiputta, and invited him to come to life with the Buddha. Master Sanjaya refuses, but there are 155 of his disciples, accompanied by Sariputta and Moggallana, who come to Gecko Forest to apply for fellowship with the Buddha. A week later, thanks to the Buddha taught the Fourth, Mogul Moggallana attained Arahant. By the second week, when the Buddha taught the Vedanà Pariggaha to the Dìghanakha, Venerable Sariputta attained Arahantship. That afternoon, the Buddha summoned all the disciples around him to enthrone the Venerable Sariputta as the first disciple, the most intelligent.
According to the Thich Nhat Du , after his ordination, Sariputta often follow the Buddha, helping him in the teaching, organization and administration of the Church. He is often praised and trusted by the Buddha. He was the key person in guiding the layman Sudattà to establish Jetavana from beginning to end. When Devadatta established his own Church in Gayàsìsa, it was Sariputta and Moggallana who came to the place of sermon and advised the mendicants to return to the Buddha. It is the great virtue of Sariputta who teaches the great Abhidhamma of the Buddha, so that the masters are easy to understand.
In -545, Venerable Sariputta visited Upatissa village and visited her mother seriously and took care of her until she died. After the tea ceremony of Ms. Sari, available full of relatives and residents in the village, the Sermon preached to them. Everyone listened attentively because the Venerable said very well. The Dharma Master is the only way that can lead a man out of the ocean of birth and death to purify his pure nirvana. After the law, the monk made the refuge for the Three Jewels for nearly ten people. Then that night the Venerable sat seated in the lotus position. In the early morning, Cunda's attendant realized that the Venerable Sariputta had passed away at midnight, in the room where the Venerable was born. Previously, the Venerable said that he wanted to exterminate before the Buddha, instructing Cunda to bring the bowl and relics of the monk to the Buddha and ask him to accompany him. The bowl and relics of Venerable Sariputta were invited by the king of Kosala to Sàvatthi and built at the temple of Jetavana. In addition, Upatissa and the Buddhists built a huge brick tower at the University of Nalanda.
According to the Lotus Sutra, Lord Buddha would have signed the Sàriputta to become the Buddha Padmaprabha, in the world called Viradja, in the Mahà ratana vyuha kalpa.

2. Moggallàna (Moggallana), the most divine.
Moggallana, born in the same village of Sàriputta, a native of Kolita, near Nàlandà, is named Moggalla (?), Whose mother is Moggali (?). He was intelligent, learned and virtuous. He made friends with Mr. Sariputta in Upatissa village, next to his village. One day, they came together to attend a solemn sacrifice ceremony in rajagaha, see people have fun mixed, suddenly thought of life impermanent, two friends come together to find teachers. But his parents did not allow him to go home. He went on hunger strike for several days. His parents did not want him. Moggallàna and Sariputta went to each other to hear the six preachers, who eventually came to seek the teachings of Sanjaya. In just seven days, the two of them had mastered the teachings of the teacher and were assigned to the teacher, Can replace teachers to teach your fellow students. But Sariputta and Moggallana were not happy, they separated from each other and went to find Sariputta, south of Moggallana, Moggallàna to the north. Soon, Sariputta met the great Assaji at Rajagaha, and was read by the great Assaji to hear the four verses of the Buddha on impermanence and liberation. After he finished listening, Mr. Sàriputta immediately attained the results. When Mr. Sariputta met Mr. Moggallana and reread the four verses, Moggallana also attained the result. They go to see Master Sanjaya and invite the master to come to life with the Buddha, but Sanjaya refuses. At that time, Sanjaya's disciples were accompanied by two sariputta and Moggallana to the Sangha, 2 km southwest of Ragagaha. Only one week after the ordination, the virtue Moggallàna attained A-la-drought when practicing the practice of the Buddha.
Venerable Moggallàna was very diligent in meditating in the desert, so soon became the most disciplined disciple of the Buddha.
In -566, after the proof of the five, he uses biometric labels to find out where his parents are now. He saw his father is born into a family of Brahmins rich, but mother is the hungry ghost, suffer hunger and thirst. He used his spirit to bring her rice to eat, but each time the rice brought to the mouth turned into fire, can not eat. The teacher immediately taught the Buddha how to save his mother from suffering hunger ghost. The Buddha taught how to set the ceremony solemnly on the fourth day, called the ceremony of Vu Lan Bao Hieu. Venerable Moggallàna listen to the Buddha's teachings, Vu Lan ceremony offerings. Thanks to the earnestness of the Venerable Monks, and the virtuous power of the pure monks present and the ten Buddhas, Moggali, the mother of the Venerable Moggallana, immediately touched the mind, Tanh devouring, the escape of ghosts, born in the sky,
Venerable Moggallàna has a strong resilience, often criticizing erroneous teachings, so one day, in the year 546 BC, the Venerable was attacked and attacked by a group of armed men. dead at the foot of Mount Isigili near the Venuvana monastery. After the cremation ceremony, the Buddha pointed at the building of the relics of Moggallana Venerable Monk near the gate of Venuvana (Truc Lam).
According to the Lotus Sutra, Lord Buddha had the life of Moggallana and later became the Buddha of Tamalapatra Chandanagandha, Manobhirama, Ratiprapurana. .

3. Maha Kassapa (Ma-Ha Ca-lettuce), the first step.
(See the first Patriarch in the "Thirty Three Patriarchs" section)
Subhùti [5] (Tu Bo), the first prize.
Mr. Subhùti, from the capital of Sàvatthi, Kosala, father Sumana, brother of Anathapindika. As soon as he was born, all the furniture in the house suddenly disappeared, three days later to return as before, so he was named Subhùti, meaning Non-Sinh. General said that it is a good omen for the future boy, so the family also called him Thien Cat.
Childhood Subhùti is often given to the poor, sometimes off the shirt for always. Parents advised not to keep Subhùti always in the house, not to play the road. Subhùti was not bothered, preferring to read books on philosophy and religion. Subhùti often proudly told his parents:
- All the laundering in the universe is clear in my mind, my heart is like nothing empty roasted nothing.
When the Buddha had just established Jetavana in Sàvatthi, his parents came to Refuge with Buddha. One day his father said:
- Subhùti, I usually give myself the wisdom, understanding the truth, the universe, human life. But compared to the Buddha also lost very far. Buddha not only great wisdom, but also the great deity, great compassion. Since his arrival in Sàvatthi, officials, prodigies, people and people came to him with great refuge. I intend to return the Buddha to the house to give him the opportunity to learn more.
Subhūti vomited to Buddha, so he secretly went to Jetavana to see who the Buddha is. Where Subhùti sees the Buddha sitting on the high sermon, dignified body, warm voice, clear, far away, before thousands of listeners sitting quietly listening. The Buddha said the conclusion of the method as follows:
- Sir, the world is full of suffering because of war, death, robbery, killing each other, is because delusional beings. Everything is impermanent, not self, but the self is often fall. The pleasure in life is the cause of suffering that is happy. Therefore suffering torment no way out. You should be diligent in the practice of defining the knowledge that all beings are in the same nature, until then the peaceful, pure and peaceful nirvana will always appear to you.
Although only heard the ending, Subhùti very touched and look forward to learning the method of Tu Dinh Tue, he approached the Buddha before the ceremony to ask him to become a disciple. The Buddha gladly accepted.
Venerable Subhùti, who had a miserable affection for the poor and heavy, did not understand the sublime teachings, so he went to alms in the wealthy. Mahà Kassapa, on the other hand, goes to beg for food in the poor, for he wants to give them the opportunity to do good deeds to make good karma for the next life. When the Buddha learned, he rebuked the two without equality, and advised the mendicants to practice equality by begging in the order of each house, regardless of the rich and poor.
Venerable Subhuti who stands out is talking Buddha in Kim Cang Bat Nha Balaam density, and has penetrated law Radio-down India-born to rest the mind and methods Radio-Minister Giving to subdue the mind . Since then, the Venerable is well known as the disciple of the "First Noble Prize" and has countless loving kindness.
After the 7th, when the Great Anuruddha informed the Buddha that heavenly teachings to teach sermon Maha Mao in the coming months, the great disciples nod to welcome the Buddha. Uppalavannà (Lien-United-Sac), the first monk nun the most divine, the first step to pay homage to Buddha and said:
- The Blessed One, the student is Uppalavannà, the first to congratulate the Blessed One, the Buddha to prove.
The Buddha said with a smile:
- This is Uppalavannà, the receptionist Tathagata first is not where she is.
Uppalavann asked wondering:
- Lord, who is it?
The Buddha looked at the disciples, calmly said:
- Thank you mendicants have come here to welcome Tathagata, but the first meet Tathagata is Subhùti. Subhùti is currently observing the emptiness of the dharmas and practicing the mindlessness in a mountain cave in Griddhakùta, so he is the first to see the Buddha.
In the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha had the venerable Ven. Subhùti, who later became the Sakyamuni Buddha, the Ratana Sambhava, in the Ratana Vabhasa.
5. Punna Mantàniputta [6] (Phu-Lau-Na Man-Tu Tu), the first sermon.
Punna Mantàniputta (Pali), also known as the Purana Maitrayaniputra, was born on the same day as the Buddha, in the village of Donavatthu near the capital Kapilavatthu, Sakaa, the son of a national teacher. King Suddhodana (Sanskrit), his mother Kondanna (Kieu Tran Nhu). He is a radical, intelligent, learned, astronomer, geographer and medical examiner, understands the Vedas, does not like earthly affairs.
When Prince Siddhattha was ordained, Punna Mantàniputta and his 29 other friends also left the family, entering the Himalayan Mountaineers under the Order of Mercy. When the Buddha was enlightened under the Bodhi tree, Punna Mantàniputta and his 29 friends also obtained the Four Meditations and Five Elements. All of the gods are revealed to Isipatana (Sarnath), later in the family, the Arahants. The virtue recognized by the Buddha is the best disciple.
In -565, the Buddhist monk Punna Mantàniputta arrived in Sunaparantà to educate the people of this place known for its cruelty and cruelty. Venerable to parish preaching Sunaparanta very successful [7] , within a year, is the refuge of 500 people, and 500 people ordained and established his residence and summer retreat retreat right in the same year. Later, the monk entered the immeasurable nirvana in this land.
When Buddha entered Nirvana at Kusinàgar, Venerable Punna Mantaini was busy traveling far away so he could not attend the cremation ceremony. When the Venerable arrived at Venuvana in Ragagaha, the practice was concluded. After listening to the three discourses of the Sutra, the Law and the Sutra have been compiled, Venerable Punna Mantàniputta comments as follows:
- Brothers, these Dhammas are such a precious thing to be admired. On the whole content, I have no further comments. But about the Vinaya, I find that there are eight prohibitions on eating that do not fit the mind of the Buddha, and may interfere with the operation of the sangha in a monastery. It is forbidden to bring food from other places, to ban food from fruits, to ban real food produced from ponds ... Meet the poor year, meet hungry time, when begging Without food, the Buddha allowed 8 of the above.
That's right, Venerable Mahà Kassapa said, but the Blessed One only allows these 8 things in very special circumstances.
According to Book 4 of the Lotus Sutra, Lord Buddha venerated Punna Mantàniputta to become the Dharmaprabhasa Dharmaprabhasa, in the world of compassion, in the life of Bửu Minh.
6. Mahà-Kaccàna [8] (Ma-Ha Ca-Chien-Dien), the first proposal.
He Maha Kaccana (Maha Katyayana) Nalaka real name, born in the capital Ujjeni [9] , the land of the Avanti (A table Recommended), under King Pajjota. He is 10 years older than Buddha. He was the second child of the Brahmin named Kacca as a national teacher during the reign of King Suddhodana. He is the grandson of Asita Kadadevala (Asita) with his brother.
Mahà Kaccàna was educated with his younger brother Asita, who attained the Four Meditations and the Five Elements. He was asked by the Magdha Bimbisa as a guru. Later, because he did not understand the meaning of the two verses, he remembered his teacher Asita's prophecy about the birth of the Buddha, so he went to seek the Buddha's help. On this occasion, the Buddha told him about the Middle Way, Four Noble Truths and 12 Causality. He immediately enlightenment, please leave the Buddha, shortly after the A-la-drought, the Buddha was praised as the disciple of the first. On the path of Dharma practice, Punna Mantàniputta often preached publicly, whereas Mahà Kaccana preached the sermon to each one to persuade them by the discourse. After the Buddha's passing away, Venerable Mahà Kaccàna was still alive, transforming sentient beings, and often influenced the followers.
According to the Lotus Sutra, Lord Venerable Maha Kaccana will become the Buddha of Dhyana.
According to the Commentary of the Logic 1, the Book of Abhidharma-Abhidhamma in the Sixth Sutra was composed by him.
In Tantrism, he was placed in the sixth position above, on the left side of Shakyamuni Buddha in the diagram of the Mandala. He was sitting on the lotus leaf, his right palm standing, finger pressure and thumb, the left hand holding a corner of the chest placed in front of the chest.
7. Anuruddha [10] (A Na Law), heavenly eye.
Anuruddha is the uncles of Prince Siddhattha, a few years younger than the crown prince, born in Kapilavatthu, Sakaa. According to the 10th stage, the fifth rule, they promised Ma-Ha De 2, Anuruddha is the son of Dhotodana. According to the buddhahood Sutra 11, the Great Throne 3, Anuruddha is the son of Amitodana. According to The Buddha and His Teachings, published in 1998, Anuruddha is the son of Sukkodana, and is Mahatma's younger brother.
Childhood, Anuruddha was very active, intelligent, talented in music, engineering, often singing in front of crowds and make humorous gestures that make people laugh, love. Little Anuruddha likes to play gambling eating cake, when he lost all the cake to run to find more mother. One time the mother said "No cake". Anuruddha is very maternal, never know what "is not", said "bread is not the same, mother gave me go". The mother took the box and did not show it to her. Strangely, when the box is opened, it is full of cake in the box. The mother was surprised, thinking that Anuruddha was an extraordinary child, having great blessings. [11]
In 588, following the second, Anuruddha accompanied Bhaddiya, Devadatta, Bhagu, Kimbila, Ananda and a barber called Upàli, to Anupiya, Malla, to seek ordination. When the new monk, great virtue Anuruddha sleep, elaborate relief. One day, while Buddha sermon, Venerable Anuruddha sitting asleep, been reprimanded Buddha [12] . The virtue is shameful, crying for seven days without sleep, so the disease is blind and blind eyes always. The Buddha consoled, said that it is a pre-paid, and then teach the law monk Lien Kien Minh Kim Cang Tam Muoi [13] ( Aloka sanna kasina), focusing on the nature of the Tanh considered Chon Chon. Venerable Anuruddha diligently practiced, shortly after the celestial sphere (dibba cakkhu), see the ten directions of the world empty, clear as easy as the mango in the hand. The Buddha attained Arahantship, and praised the great virtue Anuruddha as the disciple of heaven.
After attaining arahant, Venerable Anuruddha often degrees for many. One day, on a long journey, met at night, the Patriarch stopped at the hostel overnight. Being the owner of the shop teaser, the monk immediately use magic to fly up. Seeing the miracle, the innkeeper collapsed to the prostrate, seeking refuge in the Triple Gem and vowed to become a true believer. (View of the Law, Analysis of Bikkhu 2: 294)
Once Anuruddha was going from Sàvatthi to Vesalia. On the way to meet an angry wife, her husband left home in Sàvatthi to go home to parents in Veslas. The minor asked him to go to cover the parachute. His husband kept up, thought that his master led his wife to escape, immediately hit to hit. Venerable Anuruddha stood silent. The husband of the woman, so dare not think, angry, happy, apologized. Venerable Anuruddha is also the follower of the Buddha when he attains nirvana, and instructs the saint to recite it after the Buddha has just passed away.
According to the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha venerated the Venerable Anuruddha and 500 other Arahant disciples will turn to become Buddhas, all the same as the title of Samantabhasa Tathàgata.
8. Upàli [14] (Uu Ba Ly), the law of the first.
Upàli is a barber, less than 10 years old Buddha, in Sanya, near the border of Malla. In one day, six Surya Bhaddiya, Devadatta, Anuruddha, Bhagu, Kimbila, and Ananda traveled by car from Kapilavatthu to the border of Malla. Walking to the Mall of Anupiya, not far from the border. Anuruddha asked everyone to take off all the precious jewelry, dressed simply before crossing the border. Everyone agrees. They took off the string of jewels and gold rings of silver wrapped in a shirt. When they arrived in a small village, they met a poor barber shop. The hairdresser is a young man of their own age, whose face is handsome but ragged. Anuruddha went to the shop asking for directions to the Anupiya city.
Nadal took the princes through the border of Malla, directed the Anupiya, and greeted the princes to return. Anuruddha thanked Upàli and gave Upàli a jeweled garment in it. He said:
- Upàli, we want to follow the Buddhist monk. We do not need these jewels anymore. We give back to you. Each of these jewels was gold enough for him to live happily ever after.
The princes departed from Upāli and set off. The barber opened his shirt. Gold jewels make him blink. I do not believe this is true. Suddenly he felt nervous, he felt lost all the daily peace and security. He feared that the ignorant would kill him to rob. He feared the officer knew he would be the thief. Think about it. He saw the sovereign wealthy so powerful, so left to leave the monk, then the monk must have something more precious to riches to fame. He suddenly thought to throw away the treasure package to follow the prince. He hung up the treasure package to a nearby tree, and whispered who was the first to see this treasure. Then he hurried to pursue the prince.
The princess was surprised to see Upàli running after him. Devadatta asks:
- Upla, what do you run after us? Where are your jewels?
He panted, then told the story. He said he hung up the treasure package on a branch, because when he picked up the treasure package he felt fear for nature, the heart unsafe. He asked the monks to allow him to accompany him to Anupiya for ordination with the Buddha. Devadatta laughed:
- You also want to go out as we do?
But Anuruddha and Bhaddiya immediately agreed:
- Well, so let's go. Having him lead the way is easy for us.
The Buddha and the Sangha are residing in a mango orchard two kilometers south-east of Anupiya, near the Anom River. Seven people seek to see the Buddha. Bhaddiya on behalf of the whole group presented to their Buddha their wish to be ordained. Buddha silently accepted. Bhaddiya continued:
- Lord, we beg for Upàli to be ordained before. So we have to consider Upàli as a brother to eliminate the stigma that remains in our hearts.
The Buddha praised all seven, and then Upalali first, after the six princes. Ānanda was also ordained as a novice, but only ordained as novice [15] and learned in almsgiving. At the age of 20 Ananda was ordained as a novice.
Pāliās devotional discipline is very serious, was praised by the Buddha as the disciples of the first law and often appointed great virtue to reconcile the friction in the mendicant.
In the first class in Sattapanna cave at Ragagaha, the Upàli was proposed to be identical with the Law, consisting of three parts:
1) Pātimokkha ( Bhikkhu - carnoba, the Supplication ) is about the virtue of the monks and nuns, to help the three karmas and six are pure.
2) Mahàvagga (Great Fortune ) talks about the ordained monks, penitents, junior, offerings ... in a large group of monks and nuns.
3) Cullavagga is the law of punishment, harmony, temple building, duty and responsibility of the Sangha, in a small group of monks and nuns.
In the Mandala of the Tantra, Venerable Upàli was ranked seventh, the left side of Shakyamuni, the general Bhikkhu, the whole body color, sitting cross legged on the court lotus leaf
9. Rahula [16] (Rahula), the first secret.
Rahula, born in 1952 in Kapilavatthu, Sanya, is the father of Prince Siddhattha, 29, the mother of Princess Yasodharà, the same age as his father. The word "Rahula" means "condemnation and attachment". It is said that Rahula was born when Rahulàsura-Ràja (lord of the Arahants) laid hands on the moon; Rahula was in her mother's womb for 6 years, so she was named "Phu Chan" (condemned and bound).
After giving birth to Rahula for 7 days, King Suddhodana celebrated his grandson solemnly. In the middle of the night, everyone was tired of sleeping, Prince Siddhattha took good chances with Channa (Khan) on horse Kanthaka (Kien Trac) surpassed the monk.
In -588, when Lord Buddha returned to Kapilavatthu for the first time after his enlightenment, Rāhula requested ordination, at which time he was only 7 years old. The Buddha told the virtue of Sariputta to instruct the precepts and Moggallàna virtue as the Azoan, then gave Rahula as the naga cell, the first novice, to take the rope to keep quiet in the hour the mendicants meditate.
In -581, at the clinic of Badarikà, Rahula was 15 years old, one day, having had to get up early to sweep a large garden, returning home am I was assigned by his master to another mourner in . Rahula stood up blankly when a heavy rain came, he had to run to the toilet to sit down rain. Although he did not blame anyone, he kept the patience and gentleness of the people.
In -579, Rahula was 17 years old, begging for merit at Sariputta in Ragga (Rajagaha), suddenly a scoundrel came to remove the sand into the bowl of Sariputta teacher and took a stick on Rahula's head to bleed . Master Sariputta comforted:
- Rahula, if it is the Buddha disciples must have patience, in the heart never start anger, so compassion mercy beings mislead. The Buddha often teach us, when being praised not born arrogant, humiliated at birth do not bear resentment. Rahula, should temper the anger with patience and compassion to increase the virtue.
Rahula remained calm, went to a house in the street to wash the wound and requested a little cloth to bandage, then he said:
- White teacher, in this world are many people ignorant evil. Where all the boring. The Blessed One teaches us to have great compassion for them, to put the humiliation on us. The mendicants hold the patience to increase the morality, the rascals scorned again, to respect the aggressors more cruel than them. Even if they hear the Buddha teach the truth of compassion for patience, they also think that bad stuff like dead bodies. For those who are fierce without the slightest good, having the Dhamma speak to them is not beneficial either.
The Buddha teaches novice Rahula very strict, especially when he does something illegal. As he grew up, great virtue Rahula strict discipline, is widely praised as the most intimate disciple. He died before the Buddha, about 48 years old, there is a relics tower at Jetavana (tower No. 12).
According to the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha said that thanks to the previous life, Rahula was born as the son of the Bodhisattva Siddhartha, until the Bodhisattva became a Buddha, Rahula became the Buddha. Not only in this life, but in many future lives, Rahula will always be the firstborn of all Buddhas to receive the Dharma, until he becomes the Buddha himself as Saptaratana Padmavikramin ).
