In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina YogaAvalamba (啶呧さ啶侧ぎ啷嵿が) refers to a type of Brahmac腻rin: the first of the four stages of a layman (腻艣谤补尘补) according to C腻mu峁囜笉ar腻ya (940鈥�989 A.D.) in his Caritra-s腻ra. Avalamba-产谤补丑尘补肠腻谤颈苍 refers to one who passes a novitiate as amonk studying the 腻gama in the k峁llaka stage but then goes back to the household life.
C腻mu峁囜笉ar腻ya, who was a Digambara Jain, has taken over the Hindu concept of the four 腻艣谤补尘补s, which, following Jinasena, he terms 产谤补丑尘补肠腻谤颈苍 (e.g., Avalamba), 驳峁沨补蝉迟丑补, 惫腻苍补辫谤补蝉迟丑补, and 产丑颈办峁.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
