Right Faith (Samyak Darshana), Right Knowledge (Samyak Jnana) and Right Conduct (Samyak Charitra) are together known in Jainism as:

In Jainism, Right Faith, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct are called the "Triratna" (three jewels), and together they form the path to liberation.

The three jewels:

• "Samyak Darshana" (Right Faith): belief in the teachings of the Tirthankaras and in the true nature of reality.
• "Samyak Jnana" (Right Knowledge): correct knowledge of the Jain principles, such as the nature of the soul, karma and the universe.
• "Samyak Charitra" (Right Conduct): living according to Jain principles, especially the vows of non-violence and non-attachment.
• According to Jain texts, all three must be followed together; none of them alone can lead to liberation.
• The opening sutra of the "Tattvartha Sutra" of Umasvati (or Umasvami) states: "Right faith, right knowledge and right conduct together constitute the path to liberation".

The goal of the Triratna:

• To free the soul (jiva) from the karma that binds it.
• To achieve "moksha" or "kaivalya", a state of infinite knowledge, perception, bliss and power.

Vows in Jainism:

• Monks and nuns follow the "Mahavratas" (great vows) strictly.
• Lay followers follow the "Anuvratas" (small vows), which are milder versions.

Other Jain concepts:

• "Anekantavada": the doctrine of many-sidedness of reality.
• "Ahimsa": non-violence to all living beings.
• "Aparigraha": non-possession.

The "three jewels" in Buddhism:

Buddhism also has a "Triratna" (three refuges), but its elements are different from those of Jainism.
