General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBījajanman (बीजजन्मन्) refers to the “seeds of birth”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That very same [thing], by which the karmas, being the seeds of birth (bījajanman—bījabhūtāni janmanaḥ), are worn out, is said [to be] wearing away karma by those who have subdued their senses whose bondage is worn out. On account of the difference between what is intentional and unintentional, wearing awaykarma has two varieties which are the cause for cutting off the many chains produced by actions”.
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.
