General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsInflux (of karma) (in Sanskrit: 腻蝉谤补惫补) refers to one of the 鈥�(twelve) reflections鈥� (产丑腻惫补苍腻), according to 艢ubhacandra鈥檚 J帽膩n膩r峁嘺va.鈥擜ctivity is the action of body, speech and mind, and those who have a thorough knowledge of reality have said that this is cause of the influx of karma. As a boat in the middle of the ocean takes in water through holes, so a living soul takes in karma through holes of activity which are good and bad. The good influx of karma is caused by a mind which is supported by restraint, tranquillity, detachment, consideration of reality and is uplifted by producing friendliness, etc. A mind which is inflamed by the fire of passion and disturbed by sense objects accumulates karma connected with life. [...] The passions, the five objects of the senses, carelessness, wrong faith, body, speech and mind, the two kinds of bad meditation (i.e. anguished meditation and angry meditation) and lack of restraint are caused by human evil and inspire fear 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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
