In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IŚālibhadracaupaī (शालिभद्रचौपई) is the name of a work by Matisāra dealing with the lives of Jain teachers.—The Śālibhadracaupaī (in Gujarati) 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 two main characters, Śālibhadra and Dhanna, are famous as illustrating the practice of proper alms giving to the Jain monk (Supātradāna) but this is only a small part of Matisāra’s eventful telling.
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.
