Jainism - 1 - Samyak Darshan

Jain Agamas & scriptures have shown the Moksha Path with a distinct clarity. These scriptures have laid down the prerequisites for attaining Moksha.

In the Jain terminology, this prerequisite is known as Ratnatraya. Which means the Three Gems.

Ratna means Gem & Traya means Three.

These are;

1.      Samyak Darshan

2.      Samyak Gyan

3.      Samyak Charitra

The word Samyak means Right or True.

·         Samyak Darshan means the Right Beliefs

·         Samyak Gyan means the Right Knowledge

·         Samyak Charitra means the Right Conduct

In order to know what is Samyak, it is vital to know what is not Samyak. There is a word called Mithyatva for everything that is Non-Samyak.

Mithyatva means wrong, untrue. Mithya Darshan is the opposite of Samyak Darshan.
