Jain scriptures

Jain scriptures are the sacred texts of Jainism, an ancient Indian religion focused on non-violence, truth, and asceticism. The key texts include the Agamas, which contain teachings attributed to Lord Mahavira, the religion's 24th Tirthankara (spiritual teacher). These scriptures cover philosophy, ethics, rituals, and guidance for spiritual practice, emphasizing the importance of living a life that minimizes harm to all living beings. Jainism advocates for self-discipline and the pursuit of spiritual liberation (moksha) through right knowledge, right belief, and right conduct.
