Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe Bodhisatta was once born in a brahmin family. He learned all the arts in Takkasila, but when his wife died he went with his son to be an ascetic in the Himalaya. One day a girl came to the hermitage, fleeing from brigands, and corrupted the virtue of the youth. But when she tried to induce him to go away with her, he wished to consult his father. The father warned him against leaving the hermitage and taught him the way to mystic meditation (J.iii.147-9).
The reason for telling the story is given in the Culla Naradakassapa Jataka.
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).
