In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAn arahant. He was a landowner in Savatthi and joined the Order after hearing the Buddha preach. But he was often seized by fits of lustful passion, and even when, following the Buddhas instructions, he meditated in the charnel field, he could not control the tendency. The Buddha himself went with him and bade him mark the putrefaction and dissolution of dead bodies around him. He attained first jhana, developing which he won arahantship (ThagA.i.444f).
The Theragatha verses (393-8) ascribed to him are a record of this experience.
