Right faith, Right Knowledge, and Right conduct is known as Triratna in Jainism. These are known as triple gems (or
jewels) of Jainism and hence also known as 'Ratnatraya'. These three jewels are essential for the soul to move up towards
spirituality.

• What are these three Jewels?

In Jainism the three jewels (also referred to as ratnatraya) are understood as
 Samyak Darshan (right faith) - Right Faith or many called it Right Vision, has been defined and described by various
authorities in different terms.
Samyak Gyaan (right knowledge) - The soul is a conscious being and as such is always in possession of some knowledge. But
all knowledge is not Right Knowledge.
Samyak Charitra (right conduct) - After having acquired the Right Vision and Right Knowledge, the spiritual seeker must
proceed on the path of Right Conduct by practicing what has been learnt through the former to achieve success in
obtaining self-realization and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
