In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA thera. He was the son of a setthi in Sunaparanta. He witnessed the miracle of the Buddhas acceptance of the Candana mala (probably the Candanamalaka), and, having heard the Buddha preach, he became a Sotapanna. While still living the life of a householder, a compassionate spirit urged him to give it up. He entered the Order and soon after became an arahant (ThagA.i.312-3).
The Theragathas (vv.187-8) contains two verses which he uttered in confessing anna. They were the same as were spoken to him by his friendly spirit. In the time of Vipassi Buddha, he was a householder and did homage to the Buddhas Bodhi tree with a fan made of sumana flowers (ThagA.312f). He is probably identical with Sumanavajaniya of the Apadana (Ap.ii.415).
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).
