Śvetāmbara believes in oalitrhanaA
Śvetāmbara is one of the two major Jain sects. The core Jain beliefs remain the same for Śvetāmbara and Digambara (the other main sect), but there are notable differences in practice and canonical texts.
Key points:
- Beliefs: Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara affirm Jainism’s central truths—non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), non-possessiveness (aparigraha), and the aim of liberation (moksha) through right conduct, knowledge, and discipline.
- Monastic code: Śvetāmbara monks traditionally wear white clothes; Digambara monks practice sky-clad (no clothes) in many traditions.
- Canonical texts: Śvetāmbara follow a set of Agamic scriptures in their tradition, while Digambara have a different collection and organizational lineage of texts.
- Practices and calendars: There are some ritual and calendrical differences between the two sects, including festival observances and temple practices.
