Here are the essential religious practices in Jainism, kept simple and true to Jain Dharma.

Core vows for monks and nuns (great vows)

• Ahimsa (non-violence): Refrain from harming any living being in thought, word, or deed.
• Satya (truth): Speak the truth carefully and kindly.
• Achaurya/Asteya (non-stealing): Do not take anything that is not given or not meant for you.
• Brahmacharya (celibacy or sexual discipline): For monks and nuns; in lay life it often means fidelity and self-control.
• Aparigraha (non-attachment): Limit possessions and desires; cultivate contentment.

For lay practitioners (anuvratas — smaller vows)

• Ahimsa: Non-violence toward all beings, including thoughts and actions.
• Satya: Truthfulness in speech and conduct.
• Asteya: Non-stealing; take only what is given or freely offered.
• Brahmacharya (restrained sexuality): Faithful conduct within marriage.
• Aparigraha: Moderate ownership and non-possessiveness; simple living.

Daily and regular spiritual practices

• Samayik: A short, focused meditation and reflection session (often about 48 minutes) to contemplate right conduct and non-violence.
• Pratikraman: Repentance and confession of past faults, with vows to improve; a prime practice for self-purification.
• Puja (devotional worship): Reverence to the Tirthankaras, gurus, and sacred symbols; expresses gratitude and focus on ethics.
• Darshan, listening to sermons, reading Jain scriptures, and discussing Jain philosophy.
• Dana (charity): Giving to monks, temples, or those in need; cultivating generosity.
• Fasting and fasting periods (variously observed by laypeople, especially during Paryushana and other holy days).

Seasonal and special practices

• Paryushana and Das Lakshana: Important periods of intensified practice, including fasting, reflection on discipline, and confession.
• Mahavir Jayanti and other Tirthankar-related celebrations: Puja, processions, and readings that honor the teachings of the Tirthankaras.
• Shravaks/Shravikas (householders) also observe seasonal vows, temple visits, and community rituals.

Key notes on Digambara and Śvetāmbara differences

• Monastic practices: Digambara monks practice nudity (in line with their tradition), while Śvetāmbara monks wear white clothes; this reflects differing ascetic ideals.
• Sallekhana (voluntary fast to death): The approach and ritual language differ between traditions, but both aim at complete detachment and inner purity.
• Daily practices for laypeople and the interpretation of vows can vary in emphasis between the two communities, though the core vows (ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha) remain central.

If you’d like, I can share the exact wording of a specific practice (for example, a brief samayik outline or a pratikraman process) with the traditional meanings in Jain texts.
