General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsDuḥkhajvalana (दुःखज्वलन) refers to the “fire of suffering”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Indeed, alone, the self roams about in the impassable wilderness of the world which is full of great misfortune [and] inflamed by the fire of suffering (duḥkhajvalana-dīpita). The same [self] always takes hold of the interior of a body entirely to experience the good and bad result developed from its own action by itself”.
Synonyms: Duḥkhāgni.
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.
