Ananda was one of the principal disciples and a
devout attendant of the Buddha. Amongst the
Buddha's many disciples, Ananda had the most
retentive memory and most of the suttas in the
Sutta Pitaka are attributed to his recollection
of the Buddha's teachings during the First
Buddhist Council. For that, he was known as the
Guardian of the Dharma. According to the Buddha
every Buddha in the past and to come will have
two chief disciples and one attendant during his
ministry. In the case of Gautama Buddha the pair
of disciples were Sariputta and Mahamoggallana
and the attendant Ananda.
