In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOne of the six suttas preached at the Mahasamaya held in the Mahavana near Kapilavatthu. It deals with the origin of contentions and disputes. Disputes arise about objects which one holds dear; such affection is the result of desire, etc. It forms the eleventh sutta of the Atthakavagga of the Sutta Nipata (Sn.vv.862ff; SnA.361, 551ff).
It is said that the discourse was specially meant for those in the Assembly, whose temperament was malicious (dosacaritanam) (MNidA.222).
We are told that Maha Pajapati heard the sutta and renounced the world. ThigA.3, 141.
Probably the Attadanda Sutta was also called by this name. See AA.i.186, where the story of the 500 Sakiyan youths is given. In other accounts the Sutta which led to their joining the Order is called Attadanda. See Rohini. (3).
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).
