General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSattvasamākīrṇa (सत्त्वसमाकीर्ण) refers to “teeming with life”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “One of confused intelligence does not perceive his own death as [he does the death] of another like the one staying in a tree in a burning forest that is teeming with life (sattvasamākīrṇa—vane sattvasamākīrṇe dahyamāne). As the young so the old, as the rich so the poor, as the brave so the cowardly—Yama devours [all] equally”.
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.
