Subhuti (from Sanskrit: su: "good", bhūti: "existence"; Chinese: 须菩提 ||pinyin]]: Xūbùtí) was one of the Buddha Shakyamuni's Ten Major Disciples, according to some Mahayana sources, a contemporary of such famous arhats as Sariputra, Mahakasyapa, Maudgalyayana, and Vimalakirti. He is perhaps best known as the disciple with whom the Buddha speaks when imparting the Diamond Sutra (Skt: Vajracchedika), an important teaching within the Prajnaparamita texts. This, along with the Heart Sutra (Skt: Hridaya), is one of the most well-known sutras, among both practitioners and non-practitioners of Buddhism.
