Jain Dharma me mukhya roop se Digambar aur Shwetambar paramparaon me kuchh pramukh antar milte hain. Dono ka mool lakshya ek hi hai — moksh marg aur Ahimsa, Satya, Aparigraha ka palan — lekin acharan aur granth-parampara me antar hai.

1) Vastra ka achar

• Digambar muni vastra nahi pehante. Unka tyag bahut kathor hota hai.
• Shwetambar muni shvet vastra dharan karte hain.

2) Ahar-vihar

• Digambar parampara me muni ka jeevan atyant nishkriya aur vairagyamay mana jata hai.
• Shwetambar me muni vastra-sahit sadhana karte hain aur charya ka roop alag hota hai.

3) Stri moksh ke vishay me drishti

• Digambar parampara ke anusaar stri ko moksh ke liye pehle purush sharir prapt karna padta hai.
• Shwetambar parampara me stri bhi isi janm me moksh prapt kar sakti hain, aisi manyata hai.

4) Tirthankar ke jeevan-vruttaant

• Dono paramparaon me kuchh jeevan-prasangon ki vyakhya alag hoti hai.
• Jaise Bhagwan Mahavir ke baare me kuchh varnan alag roop se milte hain.

5) Granthon ki manyata

• Shwetambar parampara me Agam granthon ki parampara adhik pramukh mani jati hai.
• Digambar parampara me Agam ka roop aur praman anya prakaar se manya hota hai, aur unke alag granth-parampara prachlit hain.

6) Muni ke upakaran

• Digambar muni bahut simit upakaran rakhte hain.
• Shwetambar muni ke paas kuchh avashyak upakaran aur vastra hote hain.

7) Pooja aur anushthan

• Dono me bhakti, pooja, vrat, aur tapasya ka mahatva hai.
• Lekin vidhi-vyavastha me sthaniya aur parampara-anusar antar ho sakta hai.

Saransh

• Digambar = adhik kathor vairagya, vastra-tyag par bal.
• Shwetambar = vastra-sahit muni-parampara aur Agam-parampara par bal.

Dono hi Jain Dharma ki pavitra paramparaen hain. Mool bhav dono ka ek hai: atma-shuddhi aur moksh prapti.
