In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesIn the Commentary to the Rathavinita Sutta (MA.i.361) mention is made of a Kilesiya Sutta in which the Buddha preached Bhagu Thera the virtues of solitude. I have not been able to trace a sutta of this name. The Theragatha Commentary (ThagA.i.380) says that the Buddha visited Bhagu at Balakalonakagama after his attainment of arahantship to congratulate him on his solitude (ekaviharam anumoditum). The Samyutta Commentary (SA.ii.222) goes further and says that the Buddha visited him on the way from Kosambi to Pacinavamsadaya, and that during this visit the Buddha preached to him the advantages of solitude (ekacaravase anisamsam) for the whole day after the midday meal and the whole night (sakalapacchabhattan ceva tiyamarattin ca). The Vinaya passage (Vin.i.350), however, which records this visit does not make mention of any such special sermon, but merely says that the Buddha inquired after Bhagus health and wellbeing. v.l. Sankilesiya Sutta.
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).
