In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAn arahant. He belonged to a brahmin family in Rajagaha. Having heard Sariputta preach, he entered the Order and became an arahant. In the past he met the Buddha Sobhita and offered him a punnaga flower (Thag.v.179; ThagA.i.304).
He is evidently the same as Kanhadinna, son of Bharadvaja Thera (ThagA.i.303), and is probably identical with Giripunnagiya of the Apadana (ii.416).
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).
