In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAmāyāvin (अमायाविन्) refers to “(one who is) free of deception”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[The eighteen āveṇika-dharmas (‘special attributes’)]—[...] (5). The Buddha has no non-concentrated mind.—[...] Moreover, the Arhat who still has traces of the disturbing emotions and is capable of regressing has distractions. The Buddha who, in his omniscience, has complete knowledge, has no distractions. He is like a vessel full of water where there is neither sound nor movement. The Buddha is the only person who can be called free of deception (amāyāvin); he is the foremost of the three strong individuals. His mind remains unchanged in suffering as in happiness. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
