Jain dharma me bhay (fear) ko prāyaḥ 18 prakār ke rūp me batāyā gayā hai — isse aṭhārah bhay kaha jātā hai.

Saral arth: Jeev ko jo alag-alag tarah ke darr lagte hain, unhe 18 bhāvon me vibhajit kiya jātā hai.

Kuch pramukh bhay ke udāharaṇ:

• maraṇ-bhay
• rog-bhay
• daridrata-bhay
• apayash-bhay
• bandhan-bhay
• vedanā-bhay

Jain drishti me in sab bhayon ka mūl moha aur asurakṣā-bhāv hotā hai. Vairāgya, samatā aur ahimsā se bhay kam hotā hai.
