In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe third Sutta of the Atthakavagga of the Sutta Nipata (SN.vs.780-87). The sutta was preached in reference to the calumny raised against the Buddha by the heretics who used the female ascetic Sundari to further their ends (SNA.ii.518f). Commentarial explanation of this is included in the Mahaniddesa (i.62ff). The burden of the sutta is that he who praises his own virtue and is dependent upon varying dogmas of philosophy is constantly censured. The muni is one who has shaken off all systems of philosophy.
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).
