Jain Cosmology
Jain cosmology is the belief system within Jainism that explains the structure and organization of the universe according to Jain teachings. It encompasses concepts such as the multiple levels of existence, the cycles of birth and death, the nature of souls, and the principles of karma that govern the progression of individual souls through various states of being. Jain cosmology also includes the idea of a universe that is eternal and infinite, with an intricate system of dimensions and realms inhabited by different beings. The ultimate goal within Jain cosmology is to achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth and reach a state of spiritual purity and enlightenment.
