Śāriputra
- ... that when a group of monks asked the Buddha if they could travel elsewhere, he told them to ask his chief disciple, Śāriputra, for permission first? Source: "In another context, when monks planned to travel to another place, the Buddha ordered them to ask for Śāriputra's permission first." ([1] page 413)
- ALT1:... that the Buddhist disciple Śāriputra made a pact with his friend Maudgalyayana that if one of them found the ultimate truth they would tell the other? Source: "Finding no solution, they parted company, promising one another that whichever one should succeed in finding the truth would inform the other" ([2] pdf page 1902-1903)
- ALT2:... that the Buddhist disciple Śāriputra made a pact with his friend Maudgalyayana that if one of them found the path to Nirvana they would tell the other? Source: "Finding no solution, they parted company, promising one another that whichever one should succeed in finding the truth would inform the other" ([3] pdf page 1902-1903)

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
I don't like the original hook. It is too wordy and doesn't flow well. Prefer the second hook but I think it makes more sense to say Nirvana (Buddhism) instead of ultimate truth since it written as "path to the deathless" in the article and linked to Nirvana.

- KAVEBEAR I originally thought using truth would be better so its easier to understand for a broad audience. But now that i think of it, I guess pretty much everyone is familiar with the Buddhist concept of Nirvana. I have created an ALT2. Wikiman5676 (talk) 03:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
