That approach is acceptable in Jain tradition, but with careful boundaries:

• Core speakers: In Jain Dharma, the most authoritative voices are the Tirthankaras, Jain scriptures, and respected Jain monastics and learned śrāvaks/śrāvikās. When you include others, treat them as commentators or interpreters rather than replacing authentic Jain authorities.
• Non-Jain speakers: You can include film stars, athletes, politicians, or scholars who speak about Jainism, but clearly mark their background and the context of their statements. It’s important to distinguish between someone commenting on Jainism and someone who is a Jain mendicant or sādhu with direct spiritual authority.
• Criteria for inclusion: Ensure accuracy of what they said, avoid misquotations, and provide proper attribution. Include the exact occasion, date, and source if possible.
• Differences of view: Digambar and Śvetambar traditions may have different textual references or interpretations. If there are divergent readings, note which tradition presents which view and keep the core Jain principles (ahimsa, anekantavada, aparigraha, samyak-darshan, kevali-jnana, etc.) intact.
• Purpose and tone: Present statements in a respectful, non-misleading way that preserves the spirit of Jain dharma. Avoid sensationalism or misrepresentation, and clarify when a speaker’s remarks are personal opinions rather than canonical teachings.
• Presentation format: For each speaker, provide:

- Name and background - Relation to Jainism (Jain, non-Jain admirer, scholar, etc.) - Context of their statement - Key Jain principles touched - Source or date, if available - Any relevant tradition-specific notes (Digambar vs. Śvetambar)
