Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA monk of Mandalarama in Ceylon, in the time of King Vattagamani (VibhA.448). He was evidently well versed in the Abhidhamma and it is said (DhsA.30) that he once explained the Padesavihara Sutta so as to include various teachings of the Abhidhamma.
Once, while on his alms rounds, he saw something which provoked desire in his heart. He immediately returned to his teacher and asked his advice as to how to conquer his disease. The teacher sent him to Mahasangharakkhita of Malaya, who gave him the asubhakammatthana. That same night Tissabhuti became an arahant at the foot of a sepanni tree. AA.i.23f.
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).
