In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe twenty first sutta of the Majjhima Nikaya, preached to Moliya Phagguna, who was reported to the Buddha for frequenting the society of nuns and losing his temper when reproached therefor. A monk should not give way to anger even though he be sawn limb from limb with a two handed saw (ubhatodandakena kakacena). The name of the sutta was given by the Buddha himself (M.i.122ff).
The sutta contains the story of the lady of Savatthi, called Videhika, who had a reputation for gentleness until tested by her servant girl and found wanting. The saw is only one of numerous similes which occur in the discourse. It is quoted in the Mahahatthipadopama Sutta (M.i.189), and is elsewhere (E.g., DA.i.123) given as an example of a sutta preached on account of someones lack of patience.
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).
