Kundakunda

Revered Digambara teacher whose Samayasāra distinguishes the pure soul from all that is not it.

Also: Kundakunda

Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Kundakunda, of uncertain date in the first millennium CE, is the most honoured Digambara author. His Samayasāra teaches that from the ultimate standpoint the soul is pure consciousness, untouched by karma, and that liberation comes by realising this. His emphasis on the inner self has invited comparisons with Advaita Vedānta.
