Ven. Sariputta - The Greatest Disciple of the Buddha foremost in wisdom | Great Disciples of the Buddha
The Buddha says that every perfectly awakened one has a pair of monk disciples who are the most outstanding amongall the several thousand Arahants (completely liberated disciples).
The Buddha calls them "the pair of chief disciples, an excellentpair". For our Buddha the pair of chief disciples were Ven. Sariputta and Ven. Mahamoggallana.
This Dhamma-Talk by Ajahn Moneyyo is recollecting the life and the outstanding qualities of the greatest disciple of the Buddha foremost in wisdom, Ven. Sariputta. Also called "The Dhamma-General" due to his great ability to teach, he exceeded in subtle insight into views and causality, in mastery of his mind and being able to enter deep stages of meditative absorption.
For more than 40 years he helped the Buddha by teaching the Dhamma to monastics and laypeople, by guiding the community of monks and by being a noble friend, teacher and example for them.
"As Sariputta is supreme in wisdom,
virtue and in peace,
even a monk who has gone beyond
at best can only equal him."
- The Buddha in Samyutta Nikaya 21:3
