In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraDarpa (दर्प) refers to “pride”, according Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XXIV).—(Cf. Pūjā)—In the face of these three kinds of honors, the Bodhisattva has the following thoughts: “Presently I am enjoying these honors as a result of the merits that I diligently cultivated in my previous existences; this is the natural result of my diligent activity. Why feel proud (darpa)? What has been planted in spring is harvested in autumn. Why be proud of what happens naturally?” Having thought thus, the Bodhisattva disciplines his mind and feels neither attachment (abhiniveśa) nor pride (abhimāna). [...]

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.
