In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOnce the Bodhisatta was born as a stag, leader of a herd of deer. Rahula was his sisters son and was entrusted to him, that he might learn the deers tricks. The young stag followed his instruction diligently and one day, being caught in a net, he feigned death and so made his escape.
The story was told in reference to Rahula. Once, at the Aggalavacetiya, the Buddha, noticing that monks were in the habit of sleeping with novices in the preaching hall after the sermon, he passed a rule making this a pacittiya offence. As a result, Rahula could find no lodging and spent the night in the Buddhas jakes, not wishing to transgress the rule. The Buddha, discovering this, assembled the monks and blamed them for their thoughtlessness, for if they thus treated his son, what might they not do to the other novices. The rule about lodgings was thereupon modified. The story was related to show Rahulas diligence in following rules (J.i.160ff; cp. Vin.iv.16).
The Jataka seems also to have been called the Sikkhakama Jataka. JA.1876, p.516.
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).
