    12 months ago 110

    Here are the ten Das Lakshan (ten supreme virtues) with easy English meanings. These are taught in the Digambara tradition for self-purification during Paryushan.

    1) Uttam Kshama — Supreme Forgiveness

    • Let go of anger and forgive all living beings.

    2) Uttam Mardava — Supreme Humility

    • Be modest and free from pride.

    3) Uttam Arjava — Supreme Straightforwardness

    • Speak and act honestly, without deceit.

    4) Uttam Shaucha — Supreme Purity (Contentment)

    • Keep inner and outer purity; be content with what you have.

    5) Uttam Satya — Supreme Truth

    • Tell the truth; avoid falsehood.

    6) Uttam Sanyam — Supreme Self-restraint

    • Control the senses and desires; practice restraint.

    7) Uttam Tap — Supreme Austerity

    • Practice penance and endure difficulties for spiritual progress.

    8) Uttam Tyag — Supreme Renunciation

    • Renounce attachments and possessions; cultivate detachment.

    9) Uttam Akinchanya — Supreme Non-possessiveness

    • Live with minimal possessions; reduce attachment to things.

    10) Uttam Brahmacharya — Supreme Celibacy

    • Practice celibacy and mastery over sensual desires.

    Note:

    • “Uttam” means supreme or highest.
    • In Jain practice, householders may apply these virtues to varying degrees; mendicants emphasize them as the ideal. The core idea is purification of conduct, mind, and speech to awaken the soul.
