In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsPrarūpaṇa (प्ररूपण) [=prarūpaka?] refers to “teaching”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Speech that is untrue [and] harsh, that is the abode of censure [and] gives instruction about the wrong path [com.—hīnadharma-prarūpaṇa—‘teaching bad doctrine’], is to be considered to produce bad influx of karma. One who is restrained continually accumulates good karma by the activity of the body through his body which is well-controlled or by abandoning the body”.
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.
