Shwetambar Jain dhyaan (meditation) ki bunyadi soch yeh hai ki man, vaani, shareer ko ekagrata (ekatva) aur paap-vairagya ki sthiti ki taraf le jaya jaaye, taaki atma ki shuddhi aur mukti ki or pragati ho. Is dhyaan ko aam taur par samayik (samayik meditation) aur bhakti-poorna ya sankalpa-dhyana ke roop me kiya jaata hai.

Mukhy bindu (Shwetambar dhyana ki samanya prakriya)

• Atma ki ganasvisheshta: Dhyaan ka mool uddeshya atma ki pravrittiyon (krodh, lobh, moha) se pare ho kar uski shuddh swabhav ko mehsoos karna aur detachment badhana hota hai.
• Samayik: 48 minute ki ek vishesh dhyaan-prathaa hai jisme vichaar-vimarsh, ahimsa, satya, aparigrah, anekant (anekantvaad) ki smriti aur manav sabhyata par kendrit rahte hain. Shwetambar sampradaya me is tarah ki dhyaan prathaen vyapak roop se chalti hain.
• Tirthankara/arya-jnan ki smaran: Dhyana me Arihant, Siddha, aagams ya shikhar ke saath saath unki mahima, uski upaadhiyon (guna) ki yaad ki ja sakti hai, taaki man me bhakti aur vinaya badhe.
• Bhavopbhav (antar-dhyana) aur Kayotsarg: Kuch Shwetambar saadhus aur bhakto ke liye antar-dhyana (antaḥ-samarpan) ya kayotsarg (vishraam-meditation) bhi ek prakar ki dhyaan rehta hai, jisme shareer ko vishraam aur man ko vishudd karna mahatva rakhta hai.
• Niyam-dhyana aur Pratikraman ke sangrah: Samayik ke alawa, rojne-din me pratikraman (panchavakra pratishtha aur pap-ksheda ki smaran) ke dauran bhi dhyaan aur shraddha ki concentration badh jaati hai.

Digambar vs. Shwetambar me kuch mukhya antar (sankshipt)

• Shwetambar traditions me dhyaan ki prathayein aam taur par samayik, sankalpan-dhyana, aur bhakti-poorna smaran par kendrit hoti hain; lekin dono traditions me atma ki shuddhi, ahimsa, aur samyak jnana ki prarthana mukhya hoti hai.
• Digambar me kayotsarg aur antar-dhyana ki vyavaharik pehchaan alag roop me adhik prachalit hoti hai, jisme shareer ki aparigrah par aur bhi kendrit dhyaan kiya ja sakta hai. Shwetambar me bhakti aur samayik ki vyavastha adhik vyapak roop se dekhi ja sakti hai.

Aap ke liye asan shabd me: jab aap dhyaan ki bato me shamil hote hain, to apna man ekagrata me lane ki koshish karte hain, atma ki shuddhi ko mahsoos karte hain, aur ahimsa, satya, brahmacharya jaise gunon ki pratishtha ko apne dincharya me sthapit karte hain.

Agar aap chahein, to main aapke liye samayik ki ek saral, step-by-step guide bana doon ya Shwetambar dhyaan se judi specific mantr ya smaran ki sujhav de sakta hoon.
