Ordres principaux du jaïnisme
Les deux ordres principaux du jaïnisme trouvent leur origine dans des événements qui se sont produits environ 400 ans avant notre ère, deux siècles après la mort de Mahâvîra, le dernier Maître éveillé. Le terme de schisme est utilisé. À cette époque, Bhadrabahu, le chef spirituel des moines jaïns, avait prévu une période de famine de douze années et, afin de l'éviter, il avait conduit tous ceux qui avaient accepté de le suivre, aussi bien ascètes que laïcs, dans le sud de l'Inde.

Non-possession

In Jainism, aparigraha is the virtue of non-possessiveness, non-grasping, or non-greediness. Aparigrah is the opposite of parigrah. It means keeping the desire for possessions to what is necessary or important, which depends on one's life stage and context. The precept of aparigraha is a self-restraint (temperance) from the type of greed and avarice where one's own material gain or happiness comes by hurting, killing, or destroying other human beings, life forms, or nature.
Avasarpiṇī
Avasarpiṇī is the descending half of the cosmic time cycle in Jainism and the one in which the world is said to be at present. According to Jain texts the Avasarpiṇī is marked by a decline in goodness and religion. The ascending half of the cycle is called utsarpiṇī, which is marked by the ascent of goodness and religion. Jaina cosmology divides the worldly cycle of time (kalpakāla) in two parts or half-cycles (kāla) – ascending (utsarpiṇī) and descending (avasarpiṇī) – each consisting of 10 x 1 crore x 1 crore addhāsāgaropama (10 kotikotī sāgaropama).

Kayotsarga
Le Kayotsarga (sanskrit: कायोत्सर्ग ; prakrit: काउस्सग्ग) est une pratique du jaïnisme de contemplation. Sa traduction est: renoncer à toute activité physique. Elle est différente de la méditation qui se veut concentration sur une image, ou, sur un objet. Les Tirthankaras, les Maîtres éveillés du jaïnisme sont souvent représentés debout dans cet état contemplatif; cependant, le croyant peut pratiquer cette pratique allongé. Des fidèles ont atteint des stades de contemplation où ni la faim, ni la soif ne les interpellaient.
