In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAn Elder. One night, while staying with his friend Utta (Datta?) in a monastery in Kosala, he awoke and, lighting a fire, started talking to him. Their conversation turned on the war which Pasenadi was waging against Ajatasattu. Tissa, maintaining that Pasenadi was ignorant of the arts of war, proceeded to describe in detail what Pasenadi should do if he wished for victory. Some courtiers, overhearing the conversation, reported it to Pasenadi, who, profiting by it, re entered the battle and captured Ajatasattu alive. When the matter was reported to the Buddha, he related the Vaddhaki sukara Jataka (q.v.) to show that in the past, too, Tissa had been skilled in the art of warfare (J.ii.403f). The Tacchasukara Jataka (J.iv.343, 354) was also related in this connection.
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).
