(24) 阿難眾等　投入僧團
佛回國後，不久從弟阿難、阿冕樓馱、摩訶那摩、提婆達多等隨佛出家，羅侯羅隨舍利弗出家，皆為法門龍象，羅侯羅密行第一，阿難多聞第一，結集經典，正法長留。

Ananda and Others Joined the Sangha.
Not long after Buddha’s arrival at Kapilavastu, his cousins Ananda; Aniruddha; Mahanaman; Devadatta and others joined the Sanhga (order of monks), while Buddha’s son, Rahula, was ordained by Sariputra; and all had become great monks in due time. Rahula became the chief of esoteric practice, and Ananda became the chief among Buddha’s hearers, who helped in the compilation of the Buddhist canon, thereby allowing the Dharma to remain in this world.
