In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Migacira. A park in Benares (J.v.68, 476, 506). This seems to have been an old name for Isipatana, for it was the scene of Sikhi Buddhas first sermon, (BuA. 205) and all Buddhas preach their first sermon in the same place. See Buddha.
2. Migacira. A park near Indapatta, which once belonged to Dhananjaya Korabba (J.vi.256). It existed even in the time of the Buddha, for Ratthapala Thera is mentioned as having stayed there. M.ii.65; MA.ii.725, 730; but ThagA.ii.34 calls it Migajina.
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).
