In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsViḍambita (विडम्बित) refers to “(being) deceived” (by living beings), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Brother, deceived by living beings (viḍambita—bhrātar bhūtair viḍambitaḥ), you do not obtain happiness, you do not contemplate your own true nature, you do not perceive the sorrow of life”.
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.
