: academia.edu: Religious Inclusivism in the Writings of an Early Modern Sanskrit Intellectual (Shaivism)

Bheda (भेà¤�) or BhedavÄda (Cf. DvaitavÄda) refers to the “dualist doctrineâ€�.—In Abhinavagupta’s time and place, tantric Åšaivism (³¾²¹²Ô³Ù°ù²¹³¾Äå°ù²µ²¹) was divided into two main branches: Åšaiva SiddhÄnta―its main representatives being Sadyojyotis and Kashmirian theologians such as Bhaá¹­á¹­a NÄrÄyaṇakaṇṭha and his son Bhaá¹­á¹­a RÄmakaṇṭha II (or RÄmakaṇṭha)―and non-dualist, ÅšÄkta-oriented schools such as the Trika, on which relied most of Abhinavagupta’s exegesis. Both forms of tantric Åšaivism essentially share a single ritual system, with the same elaborate procedures for initiation, consecration of officiants and worship. However, certain features set the two schools apart. While Åšaiva SiddhÄnta adheres to a strictly dualist doctrine (»å±¹²¹¾±³Ù²¹-±¹Äå»å²¹, ²ú³ó±ð»å²¹-±¹Äå»å²¹) according to which Åšiva is the efficient cause of the world and is distinct from souls and worlds, non-dualist schools hold that Åšiva is ultimately non-different from the soul and that liberation is achieved not through ritual but through gnosis.

When one aggregate separates or is divided into sub aggregate and one of such divisions combine with another aggregate, then we get a new aggregate by fusion and fission.

: Shodhganga: A study of the philosophy of Jainism

Bheda (भेà¤�) refers to one of the manifestations of matter or pudgala.—Bheda is of six types, viz., (i) utkara—sawing a piece of wood; (ii) ³¦Å«°ùṇa—grinding of wheat into flour; (iii) °ì³ó²¹á¹‡á¸²¹â€”separate parts of a broken pitcher; (iv) ³¦Å«°ùṇi°ìÄå—separation of chaff from rice;(v) pratara—dividing mica into many layers and (vi) ²¹á¹Ð곦²¹á¹­a²Ô²¹â€”causing spark of fire to fly out from a glowing ball of iron etc.

: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

1) Bheda (भेà¤�) refers to the “difference (in characteristics)â€� (of breath-control), according to the 11th century JñÄnÄrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Åšubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Breath control is praised by mendicants, whose own opinions are well-established, for the accomplishment of meditation and for steadiness of the inner self. Therefore, it should be learned directly and before [meditation] by the wise. Otherwise, even a little mastering of the mind cannot be done. It is considered by the teachers of old as threefold in accordance with the difference in characteristics (±ô²¹°ìá¹£aṇa-²ú³ó±ð»å²¹). There is inhalation, holding and, immediately after that, exhalationâ€�.

2) Bheda (भेà¤�) refers to the “differenceâ€� (between the body and the Self), according to the YaÅ›astilaka CampÅ« verse 2.215-216.—Accordingly, “The Self is by nature deathless and without any beginning, endowed with bliss and infinite power, and luminous and pure. The powerful flames of sinful Karma heat it, like mercury, after lodging it in the body. Under the intoxicating power of Karma, even a man of superior merit goes reeling down to unhappy births. Se [sic] let the wise, who know the cardinal difference between the body and the Self (parama-bheda-vidâ€�paramabhedavido vidagdhÄá¸�), strive for the bliss that is free from rebirthâ€�.

Bheda (भेà¤�) refers to the “varieties (of living beings)â€�, as taught in the PaṇhavÄgaraṇa (Sanskrit: PraÅ›navyÄkaraṇa): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.—The PraÅ›navyÄkaraṇa deals with the ±è°ù²¹Å›²Ô²¹±¹¾±»å²âÄå in a rather complex way.

General definition book cover
context information

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.
