The Three Jewels — Ratnatraya
Jainism teaches that liberation comes from three qualities practised together.
Samyak Darshan
Right Faith
Seeing reality as it is — trust in the true nature of the soul and the path.
Samyak Jnana
Right Knowledge
Understanding the soul, matter and karma without doubt or distortion.
Samyak Charitra
Right Conduct
Living that knowledge — non-violence, truthfulness and self-restraint in daily life.
