In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe Bodhisatta was once a tree sprite in a sala grove. A new king Vessavana was appointed by Sakka, and the king gave orders to the tree sprites to choose their abodes. The Bodhisatta advised his kinsmen to choose trees near his own. Some did not follow his advice and dwelt in the lonely trees. A tempest came and uprooted the lonely trees, leaving the trees in the grove unscathed.
This story was one of those related by the Buddha to the Sakiyans and Koliyans, who fought for the waters of the Rohini. He wished to show them the value of concord (J.i.327ff).
For another Jataka, not found in the Jataka Commentary, but quoted in the Anguttara Nikaya and sometimes (E.g., ThagA.i.397) referred to as the Rukkhadhamma Jataka, see Suppatittha.
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).
