In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOnce, while the Buddha was at Campa on the banks of the Gaggara Lake, a monk, charged by his colleagues with an offence, reviled them; the Buddha, hearing of it, insisted that the man should be expelled, lest the rest of the community should suffer by his presence. He illustrated his argument with various similes, among them that of the owner of a barley field who, seeing among his corn a diseased plant (yava karandava) which failed to ripen, would uproot it and throw it away lest the other plants should be affected. A.iv.168-72.
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).
