In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Vedanīya (वेदनीय, “experience-giving”) or Vedanīyakarma refers to one of the eight types of karma, according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 2.1.—What is the meaning of experience-giving karma (vedanīya)? The karmas which make the soul experience miserys and pleasures.
Vedanīya (वेदनीय) refers to “feeling producing (karmas)” and represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8.—Accordingly, “what is meant by feeling producing karmas (vedanīya)? The karmas, rise of which, produce a feeling of misery or pleasure is called feeling producing karma”.
There are two types of feeling-producing karmas (vedanīya):
- pleasant feeling (sātā-vedanīya),
- unpleasant feeling (asātā-vedanīya)?
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.
