Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, was not only a famous teacher, but also a spiritual leader to a devoted group of students who assisted with spreading his message. Sariputta and Maudgalyanaputra, two of his most trusted followers, were renowned for their deep comprehension of the Dharma and magical skills. These followers worked together to preserve and spread the Buddha's teachings, laying the foundations for early Buddhist communities and insuring Buddhism's expansion over time.
