In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesPreached by the Buddha to Aggika Bharadvaja (2). The brahmin exalts the knowledge of the three Vedas. The Buddha tells him that a mere babbling of Vedic runes does not make a brahmin of a man who is defiled within and is deceitful. He should have knowledge of former lives, of other worlds and of the higher lore (abhinna) that gives cessation of birth.
Aggika Bharadvaja offers the Buddha the prepared meal as a fee for his teaching, but the Buddha rejects it because the Buddhas do not accept wages. The brahmin should, if he so desire, extend his hospitality to him for his holiness, and not for his ability to chant verses. S.i.166-7.
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).
