In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmasJñānāvaraṇīya (ज्ञानावरणीय) is another name for Jñānāvaraṇa, or “knowledge obscuring (karmas)”, which represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8.—Accordingly, “what is meant by obscuring (āvaraṇa)? It means to put a veil or cover or to hide. The cover used to hide is called āvaraṇa. What is meant by knowledge obscuring karma (jñānāvaraṇa)? The karma which obscures or covers the knowledge attribute of the soul is called knowledge obscuring karma”.
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.
