The Venerable Ananda’s father was Amitodana the Sakiyan, brother of King Suddhodana; thus venerable Ananda was the cousin of Lord Buddha. He served as personal attendant to the Buddha who was fifty years old for twenty five years. He had an impeccable memory of most of the Buddha’s discourses and is referred to as “Foremost in Hearing Many Teachings”of Buddha.

尊者是提婆达多之弟，为佛陀叔父甘露饭王之子，是佛陀的堂弟。佛陀５５岁时，尊者皈依佛陀。尊者专心侍奉佛陀，形影不离，直至佛陀涅 时止，跟随佛陀前后达２５年之久。尊者长于记忆，凡是佛陀所说教法尊者都能铭记不忘，在佛陀弟子中数他闻法最多，因此而赢得“多闻第一”的称誉。
