Digambara (; Sanskrit "sky-clad") is one of the two major schools of Jainism, the other being Śvētāmbara (white-clad). The word ''digambara'' is a combination of two words: ''dig'' (directions) and ''ambara'' (clothes). Those whose, garment is the element that fills the four quarters of space is called digambara. Monks in the Digambara tradition don't wear any clothes, as it is considered ''parigraha'' (possession) which ultimately leads to attachment. Digambara monks carry ''pichi'', a broom made up of fallen peacock feathers (for clearing the place before walking or sitting) and ''kamandala'', a water gourd. The Digambara sect of Jainism rejects the authority of the Jain Agamas compiled by Sthulabhadra. They believe that by the time of Dharasena, the twenty-third teacher after Indrabhuti Gautama, knowledge of only one Anga was there. This was about 683 years after the Nirvana of Mahavira. After Dharasena's pupils Pushpadanta and Bhutabali, even that was lost. According to Digambara tradition, Mahavira, the last ''tirthankara'', never married. He renounced the world at the age of thirty after taking permission of his parents. The Digambaras maintain that after attaining Kevala Jnana, omniscient beings or arihant are free from human needs like hunger, thirst, and sleep. One of the most important scholar-monks of Digambara tradition was Kundakunda. He authored Prakrit texts such as the ''Samayasāra'' and the ''Pravacanasāra''. Other prominent Acharyas of this tradition were, Virasena (author of a commentary on the Dhavala),〔Satkhandagama : Dhaval (Jivasthana) Satparupana-I (Enunciation of Existence-I) An English Translation of Part 1 of the Dhavala Commentary on the Satkhandagama of Acarya Pushpadanta & Bhutabali Dhavala commentary by Acarya Virasena English tr. by Prof. Nandlal Jain, Ed. by Prof. Ashok Jain ISBN 978-81-86957-47-9〕 Samantabhadra and Siddhasena Divakara. The ''Satkhandagama'' and ''Kasayapahuda'' have major significance in the Digambara tradition. ==Monasticism== Every Digambara monk is required to follow 28 vows (''vratas'') compulsory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Digambara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
