In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA series of questions asked by Maha Kotthita on psychological topics - e.g., understanding, consciousness, feeling, perception, pure mental consciousness (manovinnana), isolated from the five faculties of bodily sense- the eye of understanding, right outlook, types of rebirth, first jhana, etc. - and Sariputtas answers thereto (M.i.292 8).
The sutta was probably originally compiled rather as a lesson for learners than as a genuine enquiry by Kotthita. This sutta it was which obtained for Kotthita the rank of pre eminence among those possessing the patisambhida. AA.i.159.
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).
