In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Vutthi Sutta. A conversation between two devas and the Buddhas comments thereon. Of things making for progress, knowledge is the best; ignorance is the greatest worsener; among beings that walk, the Sangha is the best; among declarants, the Buddha is the best. S.i.42.
2. Vutthi Sutta. At the end of the rains, Sariputta takes leave of the Buddha to go into the country. As he is about to start, a monk reports to the Buddha that Sariputta has offended him and has not asked his pardon. (The Commentary (AA.ii.797) explains that the skirt of Sariputtas robe brushed the Elder; some say the wind blew it without his knowledge.) Sariputta is sent for and asked to explain; he declares with a wealth of simile that he is free from hatred and ill will; he has nothing but loathing for his body; how then would he offend a brother monk and not ask his pardon? The accuser is convinced of his folly and begs forgiveness. (A.iv.373ff.; cf. DhA.ii.178ff., where the story recurs.)
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).
