In Śvetāmbara practice

Śānti Path is often recited in temples, religious gatherings, and pūjā ceremonies. It is respected as a prayer of peace and auspiciousness. Different lineages may use slightly different wording, but the भाव is the same: peace for all living beings.

The true spirit of Śānti Path is:

• Ahimsā: non-violence
• Kshamā: forgiveness
