In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOnce a certain ascetic in Himava adopted a young deer which had lost its dam. The deer grew up most comely but died from over eating. The ascetic lamented greatly till Sakka (the Bodhisatta) appeared before him and pointed out the folly of his sorrow.
The story was told in reference to an old man of Savatthi who looked after a novice very devotedly. The novice died and the old man abandoned himself to grief. The characters in both stories were identical. J.iii.213-15.
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).
