    dasha lakshan 10 characteristics

    11 months ago 84

    Here are the 10 Das Lakshan (ten supreme virtues) taught in Jainism, especially in the Digambar tradition:

    1) Uttam Kshama — Supreme forgiveness 2) Uttam Mardava — Supreme humility 3) Uttam Arjava — Supreme straightforwardness/honesty 4) Uttam Shaucha — Supreme purity/contentment 5) Uttam Satya — Supreme truthfulness 6) Uttam Sanyam — Supreme self-restraint 7) Uttam Tap — Supreme austerity/penance 8) Uttam Tyag — Supreme renunciation 9) Uttam Akinchanya — Supreme non-possessiveness 10) Uttam Brahmacharya — Supreme celibacy

    Arth (meaning) in brief:

    • Cultivate forgiveness, humility, honesty, purity, truth, self-control, austerity, renunciation, non-attachment, and celibacy in thought, speech, and action. These guide the soul toward inner purity and spiritual progress.

    Notes:

    • The Das Lakshan Parva is a Digambar observance (often over 10 days). Shwetambar Jains also value these qualities, but they typically observe Paryushan in an 8-day form; the explicit “Das Lakshan” framing is especially associated with Digambar practice.
    • The core virtues match the Jain dharma of right conduct and internal purification.
