In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesSon of a wealthy brahmin of Rajagaha. He heard the Buddha preach at Veluvana and, having entered the Order, practised meditation in a wooded spot, ultimately achieving arahantship.
In the time of Vipassi Buddha he offered him flowers in homage (Thag.22; ThagA.i.77).
He is probably identical with Tinikinkinipupphiya Thera of the Apadana. Ap.ii.433.
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).
