In Jainism, every authentic sect and tradition believes in enlightenment – only the terminology is different.

1. What “enlightenment” means in Jain Dharma

Jain word for full enlightenment is Keval‑jñān (केवलज्ञान / ਕੇਵਲ ज्ञान) – perfect, infinite, unobstructed knowledge of all substances and all times. A soul with keval‑jñān is called Arihant; after leaving the body it is a Siddha (fully liberated).

So Jainism very strongly believes in:

• possibility of complete destruction of karma
• omniscience (keval‑jñān) in this very universe
• final moksha at the top of the universe (Siddha‑śilā).

2. Do major Jain sects believe this?

Yes. All main Jain traditions share this:

• Śvetāmbara (Mūrti‑pūjak, Sthānakvāsī, Terāpanth etc.)
• Digambara (including sub‑lineages and sampradāyas)

They may differ on:

• who attained enlightenment where/when in some stories,
• details of practices (clothing of monks, scriptures accepted, etc.),

but both accept:

• Keval‑jñān as real, present, and attainable.
• 24 Tīrthaṅkars as fully enlightened beings who showed the path.

3. Modern organizations

Modern Jain organizations (temple trusts, sanghs, youth groups, Terāpanth, various Digambar and Śvetāmbara missions, etc.) are all based on the same traditional doctrine: goal = moksha through samyak‑darshan, samyak‑jñān, samyak‑chāritra, with keval‑jñān as the highest spiritual state before final liberation.

So the answer in short:

• Yes – not just one sect, but the entire Jain tradition is built around enlightenment (keval‑jñān and moksha).
