reactivity. The Jaina theory of karma explains karma in


terms of karmic particles and makes distinction in the karma
as of eight types. Similarly, the karmic effect may be
wholesome or may be bad. Jainas have given a scientific
theory of karma.
Action; A deed, good or bad; A form of matter; Upon
maturing, it delivers its fruit; There are 4 Ghati and 4 Aghati
types of karmas. Powers of Ghati karmas are much
stronger, and they last for many lives.
It is a substantive force, matter in very subtle form. These
matter-particles, called pudgalas, fill all cosmic space. The
soul, by its communication with the outer world, becomes
literally penetrated by these matter-particles. These in turn
become karma and build up a special body called karman
sarira, which does not leave the soul until its final liberation.
Karma works in such a way that every action leaves a mark
of its own, which is retained and built into the organism to
serve as the basis of future action

Name of a kshetra or region. Twenty Tirthankaras currently
exist there, deeming it the most sacred kshetra.
(1) Twenth-fourth Tirthankara in this ara of the time cycle. His
name means 'The most courageous one.' Mahavir was an
actual historical figure who lived some time between 599-527
BCE. He was a contemporary of another great spiritual
teacher--Gautama Sakyamuni--who would come to be known
in history as Buddha. According to most accounts, Mahavira
was also a high-born member of a warrior caste who
renounced the world when he was thirty to pursue a life as an
ascetic. His moment of enlightenment came after twelve years
of spiritual pursuit. He then gathered twelve disciples around
him, and it is through these disciples that his teachings were
eventually documented and disseminated. (2) Twenty-fourth
tirthankara of the Jainas, a senior contemporary of Gautama
Buddha.
(1) A vow that is much stricter than an Anuvrat. Only those
who take diksha will take on these vows (i.e. sadhus and
sadhvis). There are five mahaavrats- namely ahimsa,
anekantvaad, aparigraha, asteya and brahmacharya; (2)

Nine fundamental principles of Jainism. A precise
knowledge about these is essential for the liberation of the
soul which is in bondage. These nne categories are:
Jiva (souls)
Ajiva (non-living substances). In this group are
dharma (motion), adharma (rest), akasa (space), kala
(time), and pudgala (matter- particles).
Asrava (influx of karma in the form of matter-particles
which stick to the soul spaces and act as fetters)

5.

Ahimsa (not to kill)


Amrisa (not to tell a lie)
Achaurya (not to steal)
Amaithuna (not to indulge in sexual behavior)
Aparigraha (not to have attachments/possessions)

These are to be followed in their most rigorous form, and


without lapse, by the monks and nuns. The same five,
when prescribed for members of the lay order, become
somewhat lenient. These are called Lesser Vows
(anuvratas), and then they take the following names:
1. Pranatipata viramana (to desist from killing)
2. Mirsavada viramana (to desist from telling lies)
3. Adattadana viramana (not to accept when not rightly
bestowed)
4. Maithuna viramana (to desist from sexual behavior)
5. Parigraha parimana (to fix the size of acquisition)
To illustrate, a householder is permitted to cook food even
TERMINOLOGY OF JAINISM BY DINESH VORA

Page 258 of 271

though this may mean some slaughter of minute animals.


A householder is permitted to indulge in sexual behavior
with his wife, but not with any other woman. And so on.
This is a restricted form of the vow for the lay followers,
consistent with the fulfillment of their responsibility as
householders. but to atone for these relaxations, seven
more vows have been added for the followers as follows:
1. Bhogopabhoga parimana or limiting objects to be
used.
2. Dik parimana or limiting the sphere/direction of
movement.
3. Anartha-danda viramana or not to indulge in sinful
acts not necessary for the maintenance of oneself or
one's family.
4. Samayika or concentrating for a duration of 48
minutes on spiritual themes, which may be repeated
several times a day.
5. Desavahasika or setting new limits every day within
the limits already imposed, thereby restricting
further and further one's free life.
6. Pausadha or living for a day like a monk, or even for
a day and night, raising the restricted vow to the
level of total vows.
7. Atithi-sambibhaga or serving monks, nuns, and
other dese rving guests.
Of these seven, the first three are called guna- vratas
because they intensify the five anuvratas, and the last four

EXCERPTS FROM THE JAIN TENETS


Be forgiving.
The refinements of the right religion is child's best gift. Jainism is our greatest inheritance.
Human incarnation is your best punya karma. Jainism is your best privilege. Exercise the
gift wisely.
Contemplation about the devotion beneficial to self and others and proper conduct is
righteous meditation.
Our prayers are to those who have led the path to Salvation, who have destroyed the
mountains of karma, and who know the reality of the Universe. We pray to them so that we
may acquire their attributes.
All living beings in this world suffer for their own deeds; they can not escape the good
and bad consequences of the deeds committed by themselves individually.
To express dissenting opinion is a natural human tendency. The wisdom lies in harmonizing
the dissensions. Practice Anekntavda (multiplicity of viewpoints).
Some may call him Buddha, Vishnu, Shiva, Jina, or may call him Brahma, supreme; his
thoughts and deep devotion may be in my heart and mind and dream.
Five best benevolent personalities (panch parameshthi) are:
1. Arahants - Supreme human beings
2. Siddhas - Pure souls
3. Acharyas - Master teachers
4. Uppadhyyas - Scholarly monks
5. Sdhus - Ascetics
Practice Ahimsa, Anekaantavaada and Aparigraha
God is neither the creator, nor the destructor of the Universe. God is merely a silent
observer, and Omniscient One who, even after knowing the whole Universe can remain
unaffected, and unattached is the god.

The greed(Lobha) captives one into the miseries. Holiness is the contentment, for the
contentment delivers to freedom from miseries.
Fight, and conquer thyself, for difficult it is to conquer the self then foes external. If the self
is conquered, You shall be happy in this world and hereafter.
Dharma is the most auspicious of the auspicious things. Ahimsa (non-violence) and
Truth(Satya) are its cardinal principles.
Even angels pay obeisance to one whose mind remains occupied with dharma.
Modesty is the religious virtue. Practice of which brings forth the state of tranquility in the
soul.
Soul is brahma, getting absorbed of self in own's soul while desisting from slavery of the body
is brahmchaarya. Celibacy is the prime conduct of the brahmchaarya.
God is the perfected human being.
Soul is independent, indestructible, omniscient, blissful, omnipotent, and has infinite
perception.
Renunciation(Tyaaga) is Religion(Dharma). Donation(Dna) is a merit karma (Punya)
As means of proper conduct practice five vows:
Know thou the truth! For truth always triumphs. He who abides by the precept of truth,
ultimately conquers the crest.
Samyag Darshana (Proper belief), Samyaga Gnna (Proper knowledge), and Samyaga
Charitra (Proper conduct) are three jewels (Ratnatraya) of Jainism leads a soul to moksha.
Fight and conquer thyself for difficult it is to conquer the self than foes external. If the self is
conquered, you shall be happy in this world and hereafter.
Oh Soul, seek not happiness outside, for, the real happiness lies in the depth of your own
self.
God is the supreme manifestation of the human excellence.
Truth always triumphs

Neither the body, nor family, nor caste is adorable. Who would have respect for those that
are devoid of merit. One that hath no merit is neither a Sramana nor a Srvaka.
Humility is the root of the tree of dharma, and moksha is the nectrine of the fruit of
the tree of dharma. Assume humility, and the right knowledge, which leads soul to
the liberation bestows upon you.

samvara (stoppage of the influx of karma) is the cause of liberation.


Live and let live; live and help others in living.
A needle with a thread attached does not get lost in the ground. A man with the knowledge
of scriptures (religious books) does not get lost in sansr. Acquire knowledge of jainism
everyday.
I bow to Lord Mahavir, the great well wisher of all living beings, the source of joy to the souls
of the universe; the one who is worshipped by all celestials and the lord of gods.
Pleasures of the senses are not permanent, like the birds, who leave the tree, when fruits
are gone. Seek refuge in dharma and everlasting pleasures of moksha may be yours.
A dew drop on the tip of a grass blade soon vanishes and so is the life of a man. So do not
be thoughtless even for a moment.
A fortunate soul has
1. Human birth
2. Right religious preachings
3. Faith in that right religion
4. Strength to practise self-control.
Neither the body, nor family, nor caste is adorable. Who would have respect for those that
are devoid of merit. One that hath no merit is neither a sramana nor a srvaka.
There is no fear greater than death, no pain greater than birth. So, oh soul, forsake the
attachement to this body subject to birth and death, and absorb inwards into your real self,
for, that alone can liberate you from the fear of death, and pain of birth.
Anger destroys love; Pride destroys humility; Deceit destroys friendship; and Greed
destroys everything. Conquer the anger by forgiveness, Pride by humility, Deceit by
straightforwardness, and Greed by contentment.
It is the conduct, or actions of a person that make him (or her) a brahman, a Ksatriya, a
Vaishya, or a Sudra, and not a birth.
Humility is the root of the tree of Dharma, and Moksha is the nectar of the fruit of the tree
of dharma. Assume humility and the right knowledge which leads soul to the liberation

Who is Parmaatma, is I, and I am, who is Parmtma. So, oh soul, do not doubt for a moment
and proceed to purify yourself of karmic bondages.
An ordinary man, who totally conducts himself with right knowledge (Samyaggnn), performs
far better towards the ultimate knowledge (Keval gnna), than an ascetic who conducts harsh
penance with ignorance.
There is nothing difficult for a person who is free from all desires.
Like digging a well when fire breaks out is absurd, so is, seeking a religion when trouble
breaks out. Instill the refinements of right religion in a child now.

forgiveness and absolution. MICHCHHAMI DUKKADAM
