In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraDūrīkṛta (दूरीकृत) refers to “removing” (the passions), according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “The four immeasurable feelings (apramāṇa-citta) are loving-kindness (maitrī), compassion (karuṇā), joy (muditā) and equanimity (upekṣā). [...] Maitrī is practiced to remove hostility (vyāpāda) toward beings. Karuṇā is practiced to remove harm (vihiṃsā) toward beings. Muditā is practiced to remove dissatisfaction (arati) toward beings. Upekṣā is practiced to remove sensual attachment (kāmarāga) and hostility (vyāpāda) toward others. [...]”.
Note: It should be noted that, for the Vibhāṣā, the Kośa and the Kośavyākhyā, the passions are merely removed (dūrīkṛta) or weakened (viṣkhambhita), not abandoned, by the apramāṇas.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsDūrīkṛta (दूरीकृत) refers to “(being) repelled”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having assented to your own births in the forest of life, the pain you have been suffering previously for a long time by roaming about on the path of bad conduct subject to wrong faith is [like] an external fire. Now, having entered the self which is cherishing the end of all restlessness, wise, solitary, supreme [and] self-abiding [com.—Further, it is the one whose desire is the end of all restlessness (astasamastavibhramamanaḥ), the being (san) for whom all roaming about is repelled (dūrīkṛtasarvabhrāntaḥ)], may you behold the beautiful face of liberation. [Thus ends the reflection on] difference [between the body and the self]”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
