Actually convert the most prominent disciple of the Tathagata Buddha.
 
 During the ten most outstanding disciples of the Buddha, Venerable Sariputta be considered saintly ranks top.
Sariputta (also known as Sariputta relics or death), was born in the village Upatissa, the kingdom of Magadha (Magadha) located in southern India. Father is a master at line Sariputta Brahmin named Vaganta (for flushing), both of village headman Upatissa, as well as head teachers in every Brahmin, a very good argument and mastery scriptures. And his mother Sari (relics), a Brahmin girl from respectable and intelligent and also very good at arguing.

Sariputta Even before the birth of his stories with bold color legend. The story goes that his mother, Sari was a very good woman, but argued that she would not win before his brother was very good at his Wanderer Kausthila (Question hi la), which is a deep amber hand or dissertation time. However, since Sariputta pregnant, all her commentaries are overtaking Kausthila.

Kausthila know that the fetus in her womb Sari has affected her and her kids are sure to bring in the abdomen after the other will become a genius to none. Therefore, Kausthila decided to leave home and effort to learn more, determined not to lose his future grandchildren. It is said that learning professionals need to Kausthila the nail grows out, but he did not have time to cut, as the people called him "Mr. Monk long nails."

In the new 50-year-old son , the patriarch Vaganta very caring person his pregnant wife. He gave a lot of care rested her female servant so thoughtful sari during her pregnancy. On the months passed, until well into labor, her sari. On the boy's handsome son born Vaganta chieftains, as well as all the happy day Upatissa village. According to custom, the village is Upatissa name was used to name the baby, combined with the mother's name is Sari, the name of the baby is known as Sari Upatissa enough.

 The Early Years, villagers still often referred to him as "boy Upatissa". This comes after the export from, people name him as Sariputta, meaning son sari.

Did not know or have random arrangement of the creator, while Upatissa village festival is held to celebrate the born the eldest son of teachers, the chief of his village, the village adjacent Kolita, also glad that celebrate the birth of the son of the chief of their village, and he was also named the village Kolita to name, is enough to call Moggalli Kolita (Moggallana). This will be the sidekick of Sariputta in the spiritual path after this step.

Childhood eminent

son of a tribal chief, was a great master of contemporary fame to the day he was to speak, said running , Sariputta was his father's care and education very thorough. Sariputta was the boy's father taught the mantra sentences, the liturgy, prayer, and his father also regularly attended the ceremony.

By 6, he Vaganta has invited three most famous teacher of doing business in a particular teacher for subjects Sariputta grammar, logic and philosophy. Capital is an intelligent woman, she also taught for Sariputta Sari lot of things, but she often worried that Sariputta was too small to absorb all the things that the teacher and her husband taught. However, in contrast to her worries, Sariputta is an intelligent boy of them.

Though still young but all the father and the teacher said, Sariputta were digested speedily. Less than a year later, he had stunned Vaganta on the progress of his son, that he proudly proclaimed that: "Just a few years longer then the other erudite teachers will no longer anything to teach me again. "

In Sariputta was 8 years old, a rare event occurred further the reputation of Sariputta more illustrious. That time, the party engaged by two brothers bourgeois interests Cat and A la old organization, the presence of the king, the crown prince and the famous commentator Brahmin line, though Sariputta was 8 years old and only according to him, the party has blatantly come to sit in a chair for the most talented commentator party. The courtiers and commentator to the party but were surprised to see Sariputta was 8 years old, the child is unknown holidays mean kid should not blame the crowd to call their young disciple to play with him.

But a moment later, by speaking clearly, cogent, explanation all matters deeply, comprehend the reach of reasons that the courtiers were Sariputta and commentator surprise present that day and admires.

Everybody said that, although 8 years old but Sariputta deserve to sit on your high chair for the most talented commentator. Made Magadha King is also very appreciative of Sariputta talent should have been rewarded for a village boy would benefit perquisites to the villagers by the tribute.

Kolita At the next village, Moggalli boy, who was born almost Sariputta at the same time also equally famous for wit and eloquence. Originally the two families have a long intimacy, so Sariputta and Moggalli quickly become close friends since childhood. The boys left the intelligent and inquisitive should be as close to each other. Then nobody tells anyone else, self-boys first person, call each other brother. Sariputta Moggalli also admitted that he made ​​me close as though two people born on the same day.
 

Vaganta Just as he predicted, Sariputta 15 years old, the most erudite teacher in the country had worked for Sariputta teacher has to met him and said they had nothing to teach him anymore so they would like to withdraw.

Sariputta By age 18, he began studying the Vedic scriptures, the traditional classics that any person under the line Subscribe Brahmin must also inherited. With the wisdom of his extraordinary intelligence, Sariputta quickly understand all the problems started in the business. So, even though only 18 but Sariputta father has decided to allocate all the work and sacrifice of his students to undertake Sariputta.

, but it's also the time that many conflicts Sariputta that he could not explain be. The tradition of Brahmin scriptures do not allow people to be skeptical that the reflection of Sariputta increasingly suppressed, buried inside. And that is the first reason that Sariputta young guy decided to leave it all out to find him for school.

Ordained Buddhist

At that time, the city at a meeting organized by the Brahmin sect organization. Two villages Kolita Upatissa and sent two young good time and most of them are Sariputta Moggalli to the capital to attend. That was the first time, two young men meet with people from other denominations with completely different ideas.

they first heard the opposite theory even denying everything they learned in scripture. After the ceremony that day, the two boys even more questions and doubts extreme. Both feel that all sects, doctrines ... all exhibit essentially contested, more dreadful loss, not true. Therefore, both had the idea of starting a family escape to go find the real truth in life.

Coming back from the ceremony, Sariputta told parents intend to leave home to find direction his deliverance. Parents were very alarmed when he heard Sariputta expressed his intention. Then by all means advised, bound and grandparents have made ​​every effort to persuade kids not to give up his love of authority, fame, riches that embarked on the path starving wandering nomad that.

 But do not budge all decided to go by Sariputta. Meanwhile, in the village, the village Moggalli Kolita you also have to undergo a lot of difficulties to get their parents to allow for direct renunciation.

When two men go out there almost 250 students also pray two men in quest of truth. Sariputta and Moggalli for this long I just learned that the sect, the traditional doctrine of Brahman should be constrained within the framework of that escapism is impossible to see the policy or doctrine of the other.

From the thought that the two men decided to go to learn outside the traditional denominations Brahmin. First, ask him to school with a famous teacher named Sanjaya contemporary (San soap skin). But after only a short time, two people have felt Sanjaya can not satisfy their aspirations understanding should two people wanted him to go bye.

After many years of wandering found the school, Sariputta and Moggalli still have not found any wise teacher who can answer your questions. Until one day Asvajit two people meet, one of the first monks ordained disciple of the Buddha. Seeing the majestic appearance of Asvajit, Sariputta not help but feel had to ask.

Asvajit tell Sariputta heard the Buddha often taught them and said, "Lord Buddha often taught us about the truth of the universe and the human born, but guys like my shallow mind can not fully perceive it all. " Sariputta listening as flushing enlightenment, believe that Gautama Buddha is the teacher that I was looking for. Therefore, Sariputta and farewell Asvajit appointment that someday, he will visited the Buddha.

Soon that day, Sariputta went home and told friends about the encounter Asvajit Moggalli also expressed his intention to Shakyamuni met to study. Closely following day, Sariputta was the Moggalli, according to two hundred leading them to their map, the same applying to the Truc Lam monastery monastic Buddhism.

Buddha was very happy to know that, from the director, so far have been two authentic disciples who can afford it, can acquire the truth they convey. Meanwhile, Sariputta and Moggalli also know for sure that, until today I have new real genuine master of invention.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/6/2014.
