Prayer for good progress
Answer
In Jain Dharma, for good progress, you may pray with humility, right faith, and pure intention:
“हे अरिहंत परमात्मा, हे सिद्ध परमात्मा,
मुझे सम्यक दर्शन, सम्यक ज्ञान और सम्यक चारित्र की दिशा में आगे बढ़ने की शक्ति दें।
मेरे जीवन में धर्म, शांति, विनय, संयम और सद्बुद्धि बढ़े।
मेरे सभी कार्य अहिंसा, सत्य और पवित्र भावना से हों।
मैं अपने कर्मों को कम कर आत्मकल्याण के मार्ग पर प्रगति कर सकूँ।”
