In Jainism, the term "Dash Dharma" (also spelled as "Das Dharma" or "Dasalakshana Dharma") refers to the Ten Universal Virtues that are to be cultivated for spiritual progress, especially observed and reflected upon during the Das Lakshana Parva (Paryushan for Digambar Jains). These ten virtues are:
- Uttam Kshama (Supreme Forgiveness)
- Uttam Mardava (Supreme Humility)
- Uttam Aarjava (Supreme Straightforwardness/Honesty)
- Uttam Shauch (Supreme Contentment/Purity)
- Uttam Satya (Supreme Truthfulness)
- Uttam Sanyam (Supreme Self-restraint)
- Uttam Tap (Supreme Austerity)
- Uttam Tyag (Supreme Renunciation)
- Uttam Akinchanya (Supreme Non-attachment)
- Uttam Brahmacharya (Supreme Celibacy/Chastity)
These virtues are central to Jain ethics and are meditated upon as part of self-purification and spiritual upliftment.
