    What is dvitiyopsham and visanyojan and how are these linked

    a month ago 23

    Answer

    In Jain terminology, dvitiyopashama means the second subsidential right-belief (dvitīya upaśama samyaktva). Visanyojan / visanyojana is a technical karmic process in which the matter of one karma sub-class is transformed into another sub-class through special thought-activity attainments. ( jainqq.org)

    Explanation

    According to Jain texts, dvitiyopashama arises in a saint in the 7th spiritual stage, when he is preparing to move toward the 8th stage on the subsidential ladder. At that point, the saint transforms the four error-feeding passions into lesser passions and causes the subsidence of the three forms of darshan-moha: mithyātva, samyaktva-mithyātva, and samyaktva-prakṛti-mithyātva. That state is called the second subsidential right-belief. ( jainqq.org)

    How they are linked

    The link is direct:
    • Visanyojana is the process of changing the karmic condition. ( jainqq.org)
    • Dvitiyopashama is the resulting spiritual state that appears when that karmic change has happened. ( jainqq.org)

    So, in simple words: visanyojana leads to dvitiyopashama. ( jainqq.org)

    Takeaway

    Think of visanyojana as the inner karmic transformation, and dvitiyopashama as the purified state that follows from it. It is a subtle but important step in the Jain path of spiritual purification. ( jainqq.org)
