General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsDuḥkharūpa (दुःखरूप) refers to the “character of suffering”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Look [here], for men, those material objects dear to the mind which were possessed of the character of pleasure before are now afflicted with the character of suffering (duḥkharūpa)”.
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.
