In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
He belonged to a Sakyan family of Kapilavatthu, and was so called because of the completeness of his gifts and fortune. His means allowed him to enjoy, at all times, food of one hundred essences. On hearing that the Buddha lived on very simple diet, he renounced the world, and entering the Order, became an arahant.
He had been a householder in the time of Dhammadassi Buddha and had offered various gifts at his shrine. Ninety four kappas ago he was king sixteen times under the name of Thupasikhara (Thag.vs.91; ThagA.i.190f). He is probably identical with Thambharopaka of the Apadana. Ap.i.171.
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).
