Twelve Bhävanä (Reflections or Contemplations) To make room for pure thoughts and to drive out the evil ones, Jainism recommends reflecting on the twelve thoughts known as the Twelve Bhävanä (Anuprekshä) or Reflections with deep concern and feelings. These twelve Bhävanäs cover a wide field of Jainism. Anitya Bhävanä Impermanence of everything in the

Four Compassionate Bhävanäs or Reflection Along with the above 12 Bhävanäs, some literature recommends practicing four positive compassionate Bhävanäs, known as auxiliary Bhävanäs. They help one to develop purity of thought and sincerity in the practice of religion. Adopting these Bhävanäs in one's daily life can make a person very virtuous. Maitri
