In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesRecounts an interview between the Buddha and Asurinda Bharadvaja in Veluvana. When Asurinda heard that Bharadvaja (probably the chief of the clan) had entered the Order, he was greatly vexed, and going up to the Buddha he abused him. The Buddha remaining silent, Asurinda thought that he acknowledged defeat. But the Buddha enlightened him, saying that the worse of the two is he who, when reviled, reviles back; he who does not so revile wins a twofold victory: he seeks the good both of himself and of the other (S.i.163f.; SA.i.178).
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).
