Limiting Possessions

Laypeople practice aparigraha by setting limits on what they accumulate.

Lay Jains set specific limits on possessions - how much property, wealth, and goods they will acquire. These limits prevent endless accumulation and remind practitioners of spiritual priorities.

Set limits on acquisition; know when enough is enough.
