In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAs the Buddha sat under the Ajapala Banyan tree, soon after the Enlightenment (in the fifth week, says the Commentary, S.A i.158), a thought came to him that he should have someone whom he could consider and honour as his teacher. But, seeing no one worthy of such honour and respect, he decided that the Dhamma should be his teacher. Thereupon Sahampati appeared before him and reminded him that in this decision he was acting as all Buddhas acted. S.i.138f.
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).
