Possessions (Parigraha)


In Jainism, “attachment to possessions (parigraha)” is of two kinds: attachment to internal possessions (ābhyantara parigraha), and attachment to external possessions (bāhya parigraha).

The fourteen internal possessions are:

Wrong belief 
The three sex-passions  Male sex-passion  Female sex-passion  Neuter sex-passion 
Six defects  Laughter   Liking Disliking  Sorrow  Fear  Disgust 
Four passions  Anger  Pride  Deceitfulness  Greed 

External possessions are divided into two subclasses, the non-living, and the living. According to Jain texts, both internal and external possessions are proved to be hiṃsā (injury).

Jain, Vijay K. (2012)
