Ananda (del sánscrito आनन्द, ānanda, ‘alegría, felicidad suprema’) fue primo hermano de Śākyamuni (Buda Gautama, el buda histórico) y uno de sus principales discípulos. Los eruditos se muestran escépticos sobre la historicidad de muchos eventos en la vida de Ananda, especialmente el Primer Consejo, y aún no se ha establecido un consenso al respecto. Se puede extraer un relato tradicional de los primeros textos, comentarios y . Ananda tuvo un papel importante en el establecimiento de la orden de bhikkhunīs (en sánscrito, भिक्षुणी, romanizado: bhikṣuṇī, lit. 'mujer mendicante'), cuando le pidió al Buda en nombre de la madre adoptiva de este último (en sánscrito, महाप्रजापती गौतमी, Mahāprajāpatī Gautamī) para permitirle ser ordenada. Ananda también acompañó al Buda en el último año de su vida y, por lo tanto, fue testigo de muchos dogmas y principios que el Buda transmitió antes de su muerte, incluido el conocido principio de que la comunidad budista debe tomar su enseñanza y disciplina como refugio. y que no nombraría un nuevo líder. El período final de la vida de Buda también muestra que Ananda estaba muy apegado a la persona de Buda, y vio la muerte de Buda con gran tristeza.
