Jainism is special for its unique focus on right conduct and the path to liberation (moksha) through personal effort, non-violence, and truth. Key aspects:

• Ahimsa (non-violence) in thought, word, and deed toward all living beings.
• Anekantavada (many-sided truth): understanding that no single perspective has all the truth; seek broader viewpoints.
• Aparigraha (non-attachment): living simply, limiting possessions, and reducing dependence on the material world.
• Karma and self-effort: actions affect the soul’s bondage or release; purification comes through disciplined ethics, meditation, and correct conduct.
• Sallekhana (voluntary fasting to purification) is a solemn spiritual practice observed in some traditions as a vow near the end of life.
• Tirthankaras and the Jain path: 24 enlightened beings guide practitioners toward liberation; the focus is on personal transformation rather than worship of deities for salvation.
• Ethical code for both laypeople and monks: follow five great vows (ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha) and additional discipline suited to one’s life.

Differences to note:

• Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions share core principles but may differ in practices and interpretations of certain texts and vows.

If you’d like, I can point to specific Jain teachings or stotras that illustrate these principles.
