Jain dharma mein khane-peene se directly karm bandhane ki koi kisi khaas vastu ki nishchit list nahi hoti. Karma zyada tar hamare man, vachan, karm (vyavahar) se bandhe jaate hain. Isliye ahimsa, satya, brahmacharya, aparigrah jaise nischaya aachaar ke sath khana khane se karmo par kam asar padta hai. Saral bat ye hai:

• Ahimsa ya non-violence wali bhojan chuno: bina hinsa ke kiye gaya vegetarian bhojan (fal, sabzi, daal, anaj) lein. Machhli, murgi, ande, ya sharab jaise padarth se bachain jab tak aapka dharmik parampara ye na kahe.
• Root vegetables se bachna: bahut se Jain sampradon mein jad-booj (mool) wali sabziyan (aaloo, pyaaz, lehsun, gajar आदि) nek samprado mein mana hota hai ya bahut kam lena sahi mana jata hai, taaki jeev jitne hi chhote jeev bhi mar jaayein to kam ho. Digambar aur Shwetambar sampradon ke niyam alag ho sakte hain; isliye apne parampara ke anusar hi chalna uchit hai.
• Samayik aur puri saavdhaan: khana mridul bhaav se, mridul boli ke saath, atma-samarpan ya bhav-vicharan ke sath khana khayen. Khaane ki yaad-dhyaan (mindful eating) karm ya sankalp ko kam karta hai.
• Acharan ki miraaj: aparigraha, niyamita upvas/vrats (jaise ek din ya adhik din ka upvas) aur pratikraman jaise karmi bhul-maan ko poon-karta hai.
• Shuddh aachaar se asar: daan, seva, sadhana (jaise joga, dhyaan, chintan) karm ki grantho ko suljhata hai.

Yaad rahe, kuch niyamon mein Digambar aur Shwetambar ke beech thode bahut alag reeti-rivaaj hote hain (jaise kuch bhojan ki anumati ya upvas ke niyam). Agar aap chahen to main aapke vishesh sampradaay ke anusar jyada spasht niyam batakar ek seedha-saadha guideline de sakta/ sakti hoon.

Is par aur spasht jaankari chahiye to batayein ki aapka sampradaay kaun sa hai (Digambar ya Shwetambar), taaki usi anusar sahi aur vyavaharik tips de sakun.
