In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesName of Mara in the time of Kakusandha Buddha. He was, in that birth, son of Kali, sister of Moggallana. He first incited the brahmin householders to revile Kakusandhas monks, chief of whom were Vidhura and Sanjiva; when that effort failed owing to the thoughts of goodwill, pity, sympathy and equanimity, developed by the monks, he next incited the brahmins to show great honour to the monks, hoping, in that way, to tempt them. But, owing to the intervention of Kakusandha, Dusis attempts failed and he was born in the Maha Niraya.
The story is given in the Maratajjaniya Sutta (M.i.333ff; also Thag.1187-91; ThagA.ii.183).
Dusi is mentioned as having died early because his life was cut off by kamma (Vsm.229).
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).
