General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBudbudvat (बुद्बुद्वत्) or Jalabudbudvat refers to “that which is (transient) like (water) bubbles”, according to Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi.—Accordingly, “The bodies as well as the objects of pleasure of the senses are transient like bubbles (jala-budbudvat-anavasthita). In the endless cycle of worldly existence, union and separation in the womb etc. alternate in quick succession. However, the self under delusion considers the persons and objects associated with him as permanent. [...]”.
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.
