General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsDaśalakṣma (दशलक्ष्म) refers to the “ten characteristics” (of the doctrine), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Homage to that wishing tree that is the doctrine which is certainly succulent with compassion, by which the world is made pure, indeed by which it is maintained. That very same doctrine is proclaimed by the Jinas as possessed of ten characteristics (daśalakṣma-yuta), having honoured even a part of which those who have subdued their senses obtain liberation”.
Synonyms: Daśaprakāra.
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.
