General definition (in Jainism)
Micchādiṭṭhī (मिच्छादिट्ठी) in Prakrit (or Mithyagdṛṣṭi [Mithyādṛṣṭi?]) in Sanskrit refers to “heretical belief (not Jaina), and represents a Jaina technical term mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).
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.
