In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections첹 (अणुक) refers to “atoms�, according to the 11th century Jñnrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Sentient beings, inflamed by very intense pleasure [and] unsteady from affliction by wrong faith, wander about in a five-fold life that is difficult to be traversed. It has been stated at length that the cycle of rebirth which is full of suffering is five-fold on account of combining substance [com.—substance (ⲹ�) is a combination of two atoms (i.e. the first step in the formation of substances when they become perceptible), etc. (屹ⲹ徱)] , place, right time, life and intention�.

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.
