General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsDharmaprasūna (धर्मप्रसून) refers to the “blossom of the virtues” (of mendicants and householders), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Glory to the great tree that is stopping the influx of karma whose opponent is conquered, which is rooted in all the rules of conduct for a mendicant, whose great trunk is restraint, whose full branches are tranquillity, which is covered with the blossom of virtue [com.—yatigṛhin-dharmaprasūna-vyāpta—‘full of the blossom of the virtues of mendicants and householders’] [and] is beautiful because of producing whole fruit through the reflections. [Thus ends the reflection on] stopping the influx of karma”.
Synonyms: Dharmapuṣpa.
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.
