Page "Jainism" Paragraph 5

Jainism encourages spiritual development through cultivation of one's own personal wisdom and reliance on self control through vows (, vrata ).

The triple gems of Jainism — right vision or view ( Samyak Darshana ), right knowledge ( Samyak Gyana ), and right conduct ( Samyak Charitra )— provide the path for attaining liberation from the cycles of birth and death.

When the soul sheds its karmic bonds completely, it attains divine consciousness.

Those who have attained moksha are called siddhas, while those attached to the world through their karma are called samsarin.

Every soul has to follow the path, as explained by the Jinas and revived by the tirthankaras, to attain complete liberation or nirvana.
