In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāTṛṇakāṣṭha (तृणकाष्ठ) refers to “grass and trees”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “The world (loka) is the five parts of the personality. Having known that the form is impermanent, suffering, selfless, tranquil, empty, without distinguishing marks, wishless, unconditioned, unborn, unproduced, dependently originated, isolated, cannot be grasped, without basis, unoriginated, like an illusion, like a dream, like a mirage, like the moon reflected in water, like an echo, like a reflection, like a reflected image, and like grass, trees (tṛṇakāṣṭha), walls, paths, and reflections, the Bodhisattva gives a gift, entering the suchness of giving through the suchness of form”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
