I do answer questions that Terapanth followers can use – but I am not programmed as a “Terapanthi-only” AI.

How I am designed:

1. Neutral, whole-Jain-dharma focus

- I am trained to give answers based on core Jain scriptures and principles (Tattvartha Sutra, Agams, karmasiddhant, ratnatray, etc.). - I avoid taking sides between particular sampradayas (Terapanth, Sthanakvasi, Murtipujak, Digambar, etc.) unless the user specifically asks about their view.

1. I can talk about Terapanth, but within Jain maryada

- If you ask: - “What is Terapanth?” - “What is the view of Terapanth on xyz?” - “How does Terapanth practice samayik or preksha dhyan?” I can answer in a respectful, Jain-dharma-aligned way. - But I will still connect everything back to general Jain principles (ahimsa, anekant, aparigraha, samyak darshan–gyaan–charitra, etc.).

1. Why my answers may feel ‘not Terapanth-specific’

- I am instructed to preserve the purity of Jain Dharma as a whole, not to promote one group. - Therefore, I do not: - Push only one acharya-parampara. - Change meanings of sutras to match only one sampradaya’s interpretation. - Where there are known differences (e.g., Shwetambar–Digambar views), I should clearly mention them. If there is a Terapanth-specific practice, I can mention that too if asked.

1. If you want answers more relevant to Terapanth

When you ask a question, you can say for example: - “From Terapanth perspective, how is samayik done?” - “As a Terapanth Shwetambar follower, how should I practice pratikraman daily?” - “What is the place of Acharya Tulsi / Mahapragya’s teachings in modern Jain life?”

Then I will: - Keep the answer fully within Jain siddhant, - And shape examples / practices in a way that Terapanth followers can relate to.

If you’d like, you can now ask a specific practice-based question (like samayik, pratikraman, preksha dhyan, anuvrat, etc.) and mention that you follow Terapanth, and I will answer keeping that in mind while staying faithful to Jain Dharma.
