Answer

In Jain Dharma, there is no fixed scriptural quantity of milk that must be consumed.

Milk should be taken only if it is:

• Obtained without violence or cruelty
• Consumed in moderation
• Suitable for one’s health
• Not taken out of greed or attachment to taste

Explanation

For householders, milk has traditionally been used in food, but Jain ethics emphasize Ahimsa. So the main concern is not “how much,” but whether its use involves harm to living beings.

If one chooses to consume milk, it should be limited and mindful, not excessive.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma teaches restraint in eating. The purpose of food is to support the body for spiritual progress, not to increase attachment to taste.

Takeaway

Take milk only in a moderate amount, with awareness of Ahimsa, health, and self-control.
