Jain tattva ke anusar ahimsa yaani ke non-violence sabse mool dharma hai. Sabhi jiva (jeev) anivarya roop se jeev ke roop me hi prapt hote hain aur inke prati hinsa ka dooravahan nahi karna chahiye. Sharir ya jaiva padarth (ajiva) ke beech sambandh me tattva ke mutabik, hinsa se parhez karna, parama dharma mana jata hai.

Kuch mukhya bindu:

• Ahimsa Parmo Dharma: ham kisi jeev ko anand ya dukh na pahunchaye, chaahe how chhota ya bada ho.
• Jiva aur Ajiva: tattva me jiva (jeev) aur ajiva (padarth) dono hote hain; jeev ke moksha ki or bhav, aur ajiva ke gun-vastra (pudgal aur parmanu) ki aur pravriti hoti hai.
• Sharir ki prapti-samarthan: sabhi sharir ajiv ya jeev dono ke liye ahimsa ko mahattva diya jata hai; parantu Digambar-Shwetambar dharam ke kuch-vichaaron me vyakhyaon ki thodi bhinnata ho sakti hai, lekin ahimsa ki aadharbhut mahatva dono nikay me sabase adhik hai.

Agar aap chahein to main is vishay par specific sutra ya stotra ka asli arth (arth) Digambar aur Shwetambar ki alag-alag vyakhya ke sath pesh kar sakta hoon.
