In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
1. Jivaka Sutta - Jivaka visits the Buddha who is staying in his Mangogrove, and asks if it is true that animals are slain expressly for the Buddhas use. The Buddha replies that he forbids the eating of meat only when there is evidence of ones eyes or ears as grounds for suspicion that the animal has been slain for ones express use. Anyone who slays an animal for the use of a monk and gives it to him commits a great evil. Jivaka is pleased with the reply and declares himself a follower of the Buddha. M.i.368f.
2. Jivaka Sutta - Questioned by Jivaka, the Buddha explains that an upasaka is one who has taken the Three Refuges and the Five Precepts, and that such a man, by reason of his qualities, works the welfare both of himself and others. A.iv.222f.
3. Jivaka Sutta - To those who practise concentration and give themselves up to solitude things appear as they really are. S.iv.143f.
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).

(Auto-Translation): In the realm of life. (a) At one time, the Blessed One was residing in the grove of Jivaka in the city of Rajagaha, during the third watch of the night. Jivaka approached the Lord and said, "Blessed One, for the purpose of the honorable Gotama, beings are killed; and the meat killed for that purpose is well known to the honorable Gotama, who takes it as alms." (b) At another time, the Blessed One was residing in the grove of Jivaka in the city of Rajagaha, during the third watch of the night. Jivaka inquired, "Who is the protector of the three treasures?" and the one who securely protects the five precepts is called 'the one who possesses precepts, the protector.' Please refer to the original.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
