Here is a simple Jain view in English on how to aim for moksha (liberation):

• What moksha is

Moksha in Jainism is the complete freedom of the soul (jiva) from the cycle of birth and death (samsara). It means ending all karmic bondage, so the soul lives in its pure nature with infinite knowledge, perception, bliss, and energy. The liberated soul resides in Siddhashila at the top of the universe as a siddha. This is the ultimate goal for every soul. You can read more on this concept here .

• The core path to moksha: Ratnatraya (Three Jewels)

- Samyak Darshan (Right Faith): a correct understanding of the self, karma, and the path to liberation. - Samyak Jnana (Right Knowledge): true, precise knowledge of Jain truths (like the nature of jiva and ajiva, asrava, bandha, samvara, nirjara, and moksha). - Samyak Charitra (Right Conduct): living in a way that purifies the mind—non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy or restraint, and non-attachment. These three together remove ignorance and prevent new karmas from binding the soul, while also helping shed the karmas already attached. This trio is consistently presented as the path to moksha in Jain teachings. See more about the Three Jewels here and .

• How bondage and release work (very brief)

- Bondage (bandha) happens through influx of karma (asrava) fueled by passions (kasaya) like anger, greed, ego, and deceit. - Release (nirjara) is the shedding of karmas that are already attached. - The practice of Ratnatraya and virtuous living stops new karmas and gradually burns existing ones, leading to moksha. This framework is explained in Jain sources like the moksha discussions above and related explanations on Ratnatraya.

• Practical note for all practitioners

- A steady combination of right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, along with efforts to lessen passions (and adopting non-violence, truth, and detachment), is emphasized across traditions as the reliable route to liberation. There are nuanced differences in emphasis between Digambar and Shwetambar communities, but both agree on the essential aim and the Ratnatraya path.
