In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesProbably identical with Rajayatana cetiya in Nagadipa. Aggabodhi II. built for it the Unnalomaghara vihara (C.xlii.62).
The cetiya was perhaps erected in honour of the Rajayatana tree, which was brought by Samiddhisumana from Jetavana when he came with the Buddha to Ceylon (See Mhv.i.52, 57f).
It is said (DA.iii.899) that when the Buddhas religion disappears, all the relics of the Buddha in Ceylon will gather together at the Mahacetiya, proceed from there to the Rajayatana cetiya in Nagadipa, and from there, finally, to the Bodhi tree.
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).
