In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines(lit.: 'not-learner'; s. sekha), a disciple 'perfected in training', one beyond training, an adept.
This is a name for the Arahat, the Holy One (s. ariya-puggala), since he has reached the perfection in higher moral training, higher mind training and higher wisdom training (s. sikkh膩) and needs no longer to train himself therein.
Therav膩da 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).
