How many traditions under jain are there
Answer
There are 2 main traditions in Jainism:- Digambara
- Śvetāmbara
Explanation
These are the two broad and most commonly recognized traditions of Jain Dharma.Within them, there are also sub-traditions. For example:
- In Śvetāmbara: Mūrtipūjak, Sthānakvāsī, Terāpanth
- In Digambara: some smaller sects and lineages also exist
So, if you mean the main traditions, the answer is two.
Spiritual Understanding
Both traditions follow the core Jain principles:- Ahimsa
- Satya
- Asteya
- Brahmacharya
- Aparigraha
The differences are mostly in practice, dress, temple worship, and monastic discipline, not in the central goal of liberation.
