In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe Buddha tells a householder, who is mourning for his son, that dear ones always bring sorrow and tribulation. The man, however, disagreed with this view and did not scruple to say so wherever he went.
Pasenadi taunted Mallika with this, and she sent Nalijangha to the Buddha to ask if these were his words. The Buddha convinced him by means of various examples that the statement was true, and when this was reported to Mallika, she was able to prove to Pasenadi that the Buddhas teaching was in accordance with facts. M.ii.106 ff.
