Document Summary
First knowledge for the world than the compassion of the world. All jiva desire to live no matter how many sensed they are. No matter what we try, we still can"t follow the rules perfectly. Five solutions: cloth analogy, clothing brings less karma, it picks us less karma when it"s dry (ignorance and desires). These practices cause them suffering, they burn off their feeling karma, very intense painful activities/practices: yogic thinning unharming karmas, the tree of them are gone when you die (form, life span, and clan) except feeling karma. Only kevalins are able to perform, they can get rid of all harming karma. Ascetic allows their jiva to expand to the entire size of universe for 8 seconds to dry out the karma. All of the karma are supposed to fall away.
