What is the holy book of Jainism?

Answer 1

The holy book of Jainism is known as the Kalpa Sutra or Sutras.

Jains are very caring over the environment, they wear masks over their faces to prevent inhaling of any small insects and they carry large brushes so they can brush the floor in front of them to prevent stepping on any plants or insects. they believe in non-violence.

There are four significant texts - the Kalpsutra as mentioned previously, the Agama, the Tattvartha Sutra, and the Sanmatti Prakaran.

Jain scriptures were written over a long period of time, but the most cited is the Tattvartha Sutra, or "Book of Reality", written by the monk-scholar, Umasvati (aka Umāsvāmi) almost 1800 years ago.

There are many holy books of Jainism. Some of these include: Angas Shatkhandgam Tattvarthsutra Mahapurana Samaysara, kalpa sutra kalpa sutra and the tatvarthsutra.
