    This is shwetambwr ar Digambar

    3 months ago 40

    Shwetambar and Digambar are the two main Jain traditions.

    Shwetambar means “white-clad.”

    • Monks and nuns wear white clothes
    • They accept that women can attain moksha
    • Their scriptural tradition differs from Digambar in some details

    Digambar means “sky-clad.”

    • Traditional Digambar monks do not wear clothes
    • They hold that a soul must be completely free from attachment
    • Their scriptural and monastic practices differ from Shwetambar

    Both follow the same core Jain principles:

    • Ahimsa
    • Satya
    • Asteya
    • Brahmacharya
    • Aparigraha

    If you want, I can also explain the main differences in simple table form.
