In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe story of Atthisena as given above. Some monks in Alavi were begging everywhere for materials and aid to build houses for themselves. People were annoyed by their solicitations and avoided them. When Mahakassapa came to Alavi people ran away from him thinking he too was one of the monks. On enquiry he learnt the reason and told it to the Buddha, who was then at the Aggalava cetiya. The Buddha rebuked the monks, saying that formerly samanas and recluses, even though offered their choice by kings, never asked for alms, holding that begging from others was neither agreeable nor pleasant. The Manikantha Jataka (J.ii.282ff) was also preached on the same occasion.
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).
