General definition (in Jainism)
: JAINpedia: Glossary颁丑别诲补蝉奴迟谤补 (啶涏啶︵じ啷傕い啷嵿ぐ) (in Sanskrit), or its Prakrit form Cheyasutta, is the name of a group of texts in the 艢vet膩mbara canon. All the texts deal with the rules mendicants should follow in monastic life and with their technicalities. The ideal to which mendicants aspire is the perfect ascetic, but in practice there are many areas where monks and nuns may make errors. The 颁丑别诲补蝉奴迟谤补s establish: 1) an exhaustive map of lapses in behaviour; 2) details of the effects of these breaches; 3) ways to compensate for errors through atonements.
The 颁丑别诲补蝉奴迟谤补s reflect a stage in mendicant lifestyle where most monks and nuns live within a monastic unit鈥�驳补峁嘺鈥搘ith fellow-mendicants. The monastic rules thus define: 1) an individual鈥檚 behaviour in relation with other mendicants; 2) the group鈥檚 behaviour considered against other mendicant groups and wider society, represented by Jain lay men, kings and so on.
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.
