Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names

Like the Anaka drum of the Dasarahas, in which the drumhead vanished, leaving only the framework of pegs, even so is it with the Suttantas of the Tathagata which are deep in meaning. They lie neglected and forgotten while men will turn their attention to the Suttantas of poets and the utterances of disciples, full of words; these they will learn and master instead of the Buddhas own teachings. S.ii.266-7.
