In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAnanda visits Migasala in her home and is questioned as to why both Purana and Isidatta, the former of whom was a brahmacari and the latter not, should both have been born in Tusita, as sakadagamins. Ananda offers no explanation, but consults the Buddha, who declares that Migasala is but a foolish, frail, motherly body with none but mother wit; how, then, could she understand the diversity in the person of man? (purisa puggala paropariyanana). The Buddha then goes on to divide men into six classes according to their capabilities and attainments. It is not possible for anyone, save a Tathagata, to measure persons. A.iii.347ff.; v. 137ff.
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).
