    bUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE BURIAL AFTER NATURAL DEATH

    5 months ago 52

    In Jain Dharma, after a natural death, the accepted practice is generally cremation, not burial.

    Jain view:

    • The body is considered temporary and non-self.
    • After death, the focus is on detachment, purity, and non-attachment.
    • Cremation is traditionally followed so the body does not remain attached to the earth.

    Burial:

    • Burial is generally not the common Jain practice.
    • In some exceptional situations, local custom or special circumstances may influence the final rites, but this is not the standard Jain tradition.

    Important Jain principle:

    The main concern is that the last rites should be performed with:
    • Ahimsa
    • Shanti
    • Vairagya
    • Respect for the soul’s journey

    If you mean a specific Jain sect practice, there can be slight differences, but cremation is the usual Jain way after natural death.
