In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesMogharaja asks the Buddha how he should regard the world in order to escape death. The Buddha replies that the world should be regarded as empty (sunnato) and one must get rid of the thought of self (attanuditthi) (SN.vss.1116-19; the Buddhas answer is quoted at Kvu.p.64).
It is said (SN.vs.1116; SNA.ii.601f ) that Mogharaja tried twice before to ask the question, once at the conclusion of the preaching of the Ajita Sutta and again at the end of the recitation of the Tissa Metteyya Sutta; but the Buddha, knowing that he was not yet ready for conversion, did not give him an opportunity.
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).
