In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritraṃy岹śԲ (संयग्दर्शन) or Saṃyakśraddhna refers to “right-belief�, as mentioned in chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalkpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as mentioned in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:�
“[... ǰṣa is attained by those who practice unceasingly the brilliant triad of knowledge, faith, and conduct. Attachment to the principles told by the scriptures is called ‘right-belief� (ṃyśԲ or ṃy岹śԲ), and is produced by intuition or instruction of a Guru. [...] The right-belief lasting for an Գٲܳūٲ which creatures in the four conditions of existence attain, having destroyed wrong-belief by Ծṛtپ첹ṇa, the division being made, that is called innate right-belief. But the right-belief of creatures here capable of emancipation which is dependent on the teaching of Gurus, that is said to originate in external instruction�.
Right-belief (ṃy岹śԲ) is five-fold:
- ܱ貹ś첹 (which arises from suppression of karma),
- 岹Բ (which has just a flavor of right-belief);
- ṣaDZ貹ś첹 (which arises from combined suppression and destruction of karma);
- vedya (feeling),
- ṣҾ첹 (which arises from destruction of karma).
Right-belief (ṃy岹śԲ) is three-fold from the stand-point of qualities (ṇa), namely:
- rocaka,
- ī貹첹,
- 첹.
Right-belief (ṃy岹śԲ) is marked by five characteristics:
- equanimity (ś),
- desire for emancipation (ṃv),
- disgust with existence (nirveda),
- compassion (Գܰ첹),
- belief in principles of truth (پⲹ).
ⲹ岹śԲ (सम्यग्दर्श�, “right faith�).—What is right faith? Faith or belief, in the doctrine of reality i.e. substances and their modes together i.e. ٲٳٱٳ ascertained as they are, is called right faith. How many types of right faith are there? There are two types of right faith namely: i. 岵 or with attachment i.e. attached and ii. īٲ岵 or pure and without any attachment i.e. detached.
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflectionsⲹ岹śԲ (सम्यग्दर्श�) refers to “right faith�, according to the 11th century Jñnrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “And having duly found the path consisting of the Three Jewels [com.—consisting of right knowledge, right faith and right conduct (ⲹñԲ岹śԲٰٳ첹�)], some whose minds are entirely stupefied by the poison of excessive wrong faith, give up. Some person destroys himself, someone is destroyed by those who have destroyed [themselves] and someone is diverted from the path [to liberation] by the teachings of fierce heretics�.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
