General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBodhadīpa (बोधदीप) refers to the “light of knowledge”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The fire of passion becomes extinguished, desire flows away, darkness disappears [and] the light of knowledge (bodhadīpa) shines forth in the heart for men from the repetition of the reflections”.
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.
