In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA number of Elders* were talking on the Abhidhamma in the Migadaya in Isipatana, when Citta Hatthisariputta broke into their talk. Maha Kotthita rebuked him, and, on being remonstrated with by Cittas friends, Maha Kotthita implied by means of various similes that Citta was not the wise man they thought him to be, and that he would, without doubt, return again to the lay life. This prediction proved true, but Citta came back once more to the Order, and shortly afterwards became an arahant (A.iii.392ff).
*The DA. (ii.378) which refers to this incident says that the talk took place between Moggallana and Kotthita.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
