    Jain monks are using mics nowadays. Which is completely wrong. Yet ppl follow them

    5 months ago 82

    In Jain Dharma, the ideal of muni / sadhviji conduct is complete restraint and very careful observance of ahimsa, aparigraha, and non-attachment. In that sense, using a microphone is not part of the classical ascetic ideal.

    However, in practice, some communities accept it as a utility for preaching, especially where it is seen as helping more people hear the pravachan and understand dharma. Others reject it as a deviation from strict restraint. So this is a matter where different Jain traditions and acharyas may differ in acceptance.

    What is important in Jain perspective is:

    • The monk’s vow of restraint
    • Whether the use increases worldly dependence
    • Whether it is truly necessary or just convenience
    • Whether the sangh is following a tradition approved by its acharyas

    So your concern is understandable from a strict Jain ascetic viewpoint. At the same time, many followers accept what their guru-parampara teaches them. In Jain Dharma, people often follow the guidance of their acharyas and panth traditions.

    If you want, I can explain this specifically from the Digambar or Shwetambar viewpoint.
