General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IVajāsena (वजासेन) or Vajāsenasūri is the name of a teacher in the lineage of Śālibhadrasūri: the author of the Buddharāsa (dealing with the Ethics section of Jain Canonical literature), 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, Śālibhadra-sūri, was active between 1150 and 1200 CE. This explains the semi-Prakritic features of his language. He was a member of the rājagaccha and belonged to the lineage of Vajāsena-sūri, but none of his works includes his genealogy. [...]
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.
