Jain dharm ke mool siddhant bahut saral hain, par bahut gahre bhi. Sankshipt roop me:

1. Ahimsa (अहिंसा – sabse upar ka siddhant)

- Kisi bhi jiv ko, chaahe kitna hi sukshma ho, vichar, vachan aur sharir – teenon se hani na pahunchana. - Bhojan, vyavahar, vyapar, bol-chal sab mein ahimsa ka dhyan.

1. Satya (सत्य)

- Sach bolna, par aisa sach jo kisiko chot na pahunchaye. - Jhooth, chugli, kathor shabd se bachna.

1. Asteya / Achaurya (अस्तेय – chori na karna)

- Jo vastu di na gayi ho, use lena hi nahi. - Dhoka dekar, jhoothi chal se, anya ka adhikar chhinna bhi asteya hai.

1. Brahmacharya (ब्रह्मचर्य)

- Indriyon par niyantran, kaam-vikar par sanyam. - Sadhuo ke liye poorn brahmacharya; grihasthon ke liye maryada aur vishay-parimarjan.

1. Aparigraha (अपरिग्रह – asakti chhodna)

- Sampatti, vastra, paisa, sambandh – in sab par atirikt asakti na rakhna. - Jitni avashyakta ho utna hi rakhna, “mera–mera” bhaav kam karna.

In paanch ko Mahavrat (sadhuo ke liye) aur unke halka roop Anuvrat (grihasthon ke liye) mana gaya hai। ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Anekāntavād (अनेकान्तवाद – bahu-pakshita)

- Vastavikta bahu-aayami hai; ek hi drishti se poori sachchai nahi samajh aati. - Isliye anya ke vicharon ka samman karna, “sirf main hi sahi hoon” yeh zidd chhodna. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Syādvād (स्याद्वाद)

- Vani mein “nishchit aisa hi hai” ke bajaay “kuch drishti se aisa hai” jaise vinamr drishti rakhna. - Isse vivad, hinsa, krodh kam hote hain. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Aparigraha & Ahimsa ko jodne wala siddhant

- Jitni adhik ichchha aur sangrah, utni hi pratyaksh ya paroksh hinsa. - Isliye Jain dharm me “Ahimsa, Anekant, Aparigrah” ko teen mukh stambh mana gaya hai. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Ratnatray – Teen Ratna (मार्ग ke mool siddhant)

- Samyak Darshan – sahi shraddha / drishti. - Samyak Jnana – sahi gyaan (mithya drishti se mukt). - Samyak Charitra – upar ke sab vrat–sanyam ka acharan. - Ye teen milkar jeev ko moksh ki or le jaate hain. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Karma siddhant aur Moksh

- Har ashubh vichar, kathor vachan, hinsa, asatya, lobh se pudgalik karma atma se judte hain. - Sanyam, tap, pratikraman, dhyan se ye karma kshiin hote hain, aur ant me atma keval gyaan paakar moksh ko prapt karti hai. ( jainknowledge.com)

Digambar aur Shvetambar Dono paramparaon me in mool siddhanton par poori ekmat hai – ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha, anekant, karma, moksh sab saman hain. Antar zyada tar sadhu-vratti, poshak, kuch granthon ki vyakhya mein milte hain, siddhant mein nahi. ( jainknowledge.com)
