Subhuti
From Free net encyclopedia
Subhuti (Chn: 須菩提, Xu Puti) was one of the Buddha Shakyamuni's Ten Major Disciples, a contemporary of such famous arhats as Sariputra, Mahakasyapa, Maudgalyayana, and Vimalakirti. He is perhaps best known as the disciple with whom the Buddha speaks when imparting the Diamond Sutra (Skt: Vajracchedika), an important teaching within the Prajnaparamita texts. This, along with the Heart Sutra (Skt: Hridaya)), is one of the most well-known sutras, among both practitioners and non-practitioners of Buddhism.
