Chapter III : The relationship between Sariputta Thera and other Important persons. Chapter IV : The role of Sariputta Thera in propagation of Buddhism Chapter V : Conclusion and Recommendations.
The result of the study are as follows.
Regarding to the relationship between him and other personas it indicated that he had relationship with the Buddha as a right hand disciple, with bhikkhus and bhikkhunis as their good friend and supervisor and with Upasakas and Upasikas as their preacher. Consequently he became great preacher of Dhamma (Dhammasenapati) who played the key role of unifying the Buddhist company.
With regard to his role in propagation of Buddhism he was a great preacher with the excellent techniques of Supervision, Suggestion, consulting, Teaching and preaching. He was named the Dhammasenapati as he was able to spread the doctrine with the methods of narration, explanation and comparison so that he was trusted by the Buddha in this regard. He was able to increase the numbers of disciples and also able to establish understanding among various groups of faith. Therefore, he regarded as the model of present preachers.
On the role in preserving the Dhamma he did by deeply learning and following the footsteps of the Blessed One. He proposed to the Buddha to revise the Dhamma, but it was not right time to do so. He had compiled the Dhamma arranging it into groups easy to learn. And this caused the Convocation and rehearsal of the Dhamma happen after the passing away of the Buddha. |
