so other dharma is not good as jain what is your opinion
Answer
In Jain Dharma, we should not say “other dharmas are not good.” Jainism teaches respect, humility, and anekāntavāda — the understanding that truth can be seen from many viewpoints.
Jain Dharma is deeply beautiful because it emphasizes:
- Ahimsā — non-violence
- Aparigraha — non-attachment
- Anekāntavāda — many-sided understanding
- Samyak Darshan, Samyak Jnan, Samyak Charitra — right faith, right knowledge, right conduct
But this does not mean we should insult or reject other paths.
Explanation
Jain Dharma teaches that the soul progresses by reducing anger, ego, deceit, greed, attachment, and violence. If we say, “Only my path is good and others are bad,” it can increase ego and disrespect.
A Jain approach would be:
- Follow Jain Dharma with full devotion.
- Respect sincere spiritual efforts of others.
- Avoid criticism, hatred, or superiority.
- Judge our own conduct more than judging others.
Spiritual Understanding
The greatness of Jain Dharma is not shown by putting others down. It is shown by living with compassion, self-control, forgiveness, truthfulness, and non-violence.
A true Jain should think:
- “Let me purify my soul.”
- “Let me reduce harm to all living beings.”
- “Let me respect others while staying firm in Jain principles.”
Takeaway
From a Jain perspective, Jain Dharma is the path of liberation taught by the Tirthankars. But Jain conduct also requires humility and respect toward others. So we can love Jain Dharma deeply without insulting any other dharma.
