Jainism Quick Answers

Detailed answers to the most common questions about the core of Jainism.

The fundamental and supreme principle of Jainism is Ahimsa (Non-Violence), non-injury and non-harm to all living beings in thought, word and deed. This extends to every aspect of a Jain's life, including diet, conduct and occupation.

Rishabhanatha (Adinath) is revered as the first of the 24 Tirthankaras. Bhagwan Mahavira, the 24th and last Tirthankara, revitalized and organized Jain philosophy around 600 BCE.

The Three Jewels (Triratna) are the path to liberation: Samyak Darshan (Right Faith), Samyak Gyan (Right Knowledge) and Samyak Charitra (Right Conduct).

Major Jain Teerths are primarily in India: Sammed Shikharji (Jharkhand), where 20 Tirthankaras attained Moksha; Palitana (Gujarat); Girnarji (Gujarat); and the Dilwara Temples (Rajasthan). See the full Tirth Yatra guide.

No. Jainism is non-theistic and rejects a single creator God. The universe is eternal and governed by universal law; the Divine is understood as the perfected soul (Siddha or Arihant), not a creator entity.
