    Do you have any proof that in Jain Dharma there is a ninth that was

    2 weeks ago 2

    Answer

    If you mean the ninth Tirthankar in Jain Dharma, then yes — Jain tradition accepts that the 9th Tirthankar of the current time cycle is Suvidhinath. In some traditions, he is also called Pushpadanta.

    Explanation

    Jain Dharma teaches 24 Tirthankaras in each half-cycle of time. Their names are traditionally listed in order, and the ninth in that list is accepted as the ninth Tirthankar.

    This is not “proof” in a modern scientific sense, but it is scriptural and traditional proof within Jain Dharma:

    • The Jain scriptures and traditional teachings preserve the list of 24 Tirthankaras.
    • The 9th in that sacred list is recognized as Suvidhinath / Pushpadanta.
    • This is part of the accepted Jain historical and spiritual tradition.

    Spiritual Understanding

    In Jain Dharma, the value of this knowledge is not only historical. It reminds us that:
    • the path of liberation has been shown again and again,
    • every Tirthankar teaches the same eternal principles,
    • and devotion to the Tirthankaras inspires right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.

    Takeaway

    So, if your question is about the 9th Tirthankar, Jain tradition clearly recognizes him as Suvidhinath. If you meant something else by “ninth,” the sentence seems incomplete.
