In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsPhalaprāpti (फलप्राप्ति) refers to “obtaining results”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That [meditation] is divided into two [types] according to whether it has an auspicious or inauspicious purpose [and] for humans it is the real cause of obtaining desirable and undesirable results (phalaprāpti—iṣṭāniṣṭaphalaprāpteḥ)”.
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.
