## Second Chapter
Then, the essence of the teachings of the Jinas, the characteristics of faith in the path, which is radiant with the absence of doubts, desires, and blemishes like giving, etc., were explained. || 114 || The jewel of right faith, the leader of the ornaments of knowledge, was held in their ears and hearts by all beings. || 115 || Having carefully observed the differences in body, senses, qualities, the abode of the soul, lineage, and lifespan, as well as the various possibilities of wombs, through the eye of the scriptures, || 116 || the abandonment of killing, binding, etc., in actions, beginning with the place of the soul, is called the first great vow of non-violence for the six categories of living beings. || 117 || Speech that causes suffering to others due to attachment, aversion, or delusion, is to be abandoned. The second great vow of truth is the cessation of such speech. || 118 || The third great vow of non-stealing is the abandonment of taking what is not given, whether it be little or much, from another's property. || 119 || The abandonment of sexual intercourse with women and men, through actions, causing, or approving, is called the fourth great vow of celibacy. || 120 || The fifth great vow of non-possession is the detachment from all external and internal possessions, due to the faults of possession. || 121 || The first vow of restraint from harming living beings within sight is considered to purify the vows. || 122 || The speech of the ascetic who always strives to avoid harsh and cruel words in religious activities is called the vow of speech. || 123 || The taking of food by the ascetic, after purifying the body, for the sake of the body's stability, is called the vow of food. || 124 || The vow of taking and placing is the taking and placing of a suitable object after careful consideration. || 125 || The vow of purification is the elimination of waste from the body in suitable places. || 126 || Thus, there are five vows and three secrets, which are the pure forms of the activities of speech, mind, and body. || 127 || The control of the mind and senses, equality, bowing, praise, confession, self-study, and bodily relaxation are the six essential practices. Shaving the hair, bathing, and single-minded devotion, as well as the practice of standing, sitting, and lying down, are also important. || 128 ||
