Subhūti ［須菩提］ (, Pali; Shubodai): One of Shakyamuni’s ten major disciples. He is said to have been a nephew of Sudatta, the wealthy patron of Shakyamuni Buddha in Shrāvastī, India, who donated Jetavana Monastery. Another account says that Subhūti was born to a Brahman family in that city. On the day of the donation of the monastery, Subhūti heard Shakyamuni preach there and became his disciple. The Wisdom sutras depict him as foremost in understanding the doctrine of non-substantiality. He also appears in the Lotus Sutra as one of the four great voice-hearers who understood the Buddha’s one vehicle teaching through the parable of the three carts and the burning house related in the “Simile and Parable” (third) chapter. The “Bestowal of Prophecy” (sixth) chapter predicts his future enlightenment as a Buddha named Rare Form.
