NOTES
P.S. Jaini, pp. 252-3. "Dharmadhyāna entails the intense contemplation, for a short period (up to forty-eight minutes), of one of several objects: (1) the teachings of the Jina on the nine tattvas and how these teachings can best be communicated to others (ājñāvicara); (2) the great misery suffered by other beings (whose minds are impelled by passions and blinded by ignorance) and the means by which these beings can be saved (apāvavicaya); (3) the mysterious mechanisms of karmic influx, binding, duration, and outcome and the fact that the soul is fundamentally independent of these processes and thus able to disengage itself therefrom (vipakavicara); (4) the structure of the universe and the interplay of causes that brings souls to their particular destinies (samsthānavicava)."
