Jain literature

Jain literature encompasses religious texts and writings that reflect the teachings of Jainism, an ancient Indian religion emphasizing non-violence, truth, and self-discipline. These texts include sacred scriptures like the Agamas, philosophical treatises, and poetic works that explore spiritual practices, ethics, and the history of Jain teachings. They serve to guide followers on the path to spiritual liberation (moksha) and provide insights into Jain principles, cosmology, and ethical conduct. Rich in symbolism and philosophy, Jain literature is a crucial aspect of preserving and studying the religion's beliefs and cultural heritage.
