Paap dhone ki koi khaas machine nahi hoti. Jain dharma ke hisaab se paap (karmana) humein udharan ki tarah chhipte jaate hain, aur unhe saaf karne ka tarika hai sadaiv sahi karm marg ko apnana.

Kirtin tarike jo paap ko kam karte hain:

• Panch Mahavrata ya shikshit vows follow karna (nij bhav, ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha) – jain sangh mein jaise layak aur sadhak ke liye antim lakshya hota hai.
• Satyavrat aur ahimsa ke marg par chalna, jise karm saaf karne ki raah milti hai.
• Teerth, tap, sevan se sankalpa mein pavitrata badhna.
• Pratikraman (pachhatapa, shuddhi) aur samayik (din ki meditational practice) karna – apni galtiyon ki swikriti aur kshama maangna, paap ke karm ko kam karne ki pratikriya hai.
• Varsha-season ya niyamit roop se tapasyā, arjan, dan (daan) se punya badhana.
• Paap ki maafi maangna aur dusron ko kshama karna – man, bhaav, karyon mein paap ke pravah ko rokate hain.

Digambar aur Shwetambar dono paramparao mein pratikraman, samayik aur sadhau ki vidhi standard roop se pavitrata laane ke upay hain; dono mein mool uddeshya paap ko kam karna aur atma ko shudd karna same hai, bas riwaz aur uchaaran mein chhoti-moti baatein alag ho sakti hain.

Agar aap chahen, main in vidhiyo ka ek chhota sa practical nirdesh (jaise ki roz ki pratikraman ki chhoti yojana) ya kuch shabdon ka saral arth de sakta/ sakti hoon.
