The Excellent Disciplined Life of Jain Monks and Nuns:

Ta

king and adhering to Jain Diksha is very difficult. After taking Jain Diksha, a person's life completely changes. Post-Diksha, Jain monks and nuns lead a very disciplined and steadfast life. They sever all worldly relations with their family and renounce all material resources. They keep very few essentials like 72-hand white Khadi cloth, necessary books, Ogha, and a begging bowl. They bring their food by begging, pluck their hair, walk on foot, and renounce many things. They follow a strict daily routine and wander under the guidance of their Guru.
