    What are the das lakshan

    12 months ago 90

    Das Lakshan (दश लक्षण) are the ten supreme virtues in Jainism, taught as a guide for inner purification during the Das Lakshan Parva (often observed after Paryushan by Digambar Jains). The ten Lakshanas are:

    • Uttam Kshama — supreme forgiveness
    • Uttam Mardav — supreme humility
    • Uttam Arjava — supreme honesty/straightforwardness
    • Uttam Shaucha — supreme purity
    • Uttam Satya — supreme truthfulness
    • Uttam Sanyam — supreme self-restraint
    • Uttam Tap — supreme austerity
    • Uttam Tyag — supreme renunciation
    • Uttam Akinchanya — supreme non-possessiveness
    • Uttam Brahmacharya — supreme celibacy

    Simple meaning (arth):

    • Practice forgiveness, humility, honesty, purity, truth, self-control, austerity, renunciation, non-possessiveness, and celibacy in thought, speech, and action. These ten guide a Jain toward inner purity and spiritual progress.

    Notes:

    • These ten are central to the Das Lakshan observance, especially in Digambara Jain tradition; the way it’s observed and taught can vary between Digambar and Shwetambar communities. ( pluralism.org, jain24.com)
