In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IPuṇyakīrti (पुण्यकीर्ति) is the author of the Puṇyasāracaupaī (dealing with the lives of Jain teachers), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The author, Puṇyakīrti, belonged to the kharataragaccha. His lineage was: Mahimameru—Harṣacandra—Harṣapramoda. Another member of the kharataragaccha, Samayasundara, also composed a Puṇyasāracopaī seven years later (VS 1673), also referring to a Śāntinātha biography as his source (see candraprabha 2008, pp. 162-164, ed. in Rāsa Pañcaka, pp. 120-148).
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.
