Pratima (Jainism)
text:
In Jainism, Pratima is a step or a stage marking the spiritual rise of a lay person (shravak). There are eleven such steps called pratima. After passing the eleven steps, one is no longer a sravaka, but a muni (monk). Rules prescribed for laymen are divided into twelve vrata (vows) and eleven pratimas (steps) and are described in several codes of conduct (shravakacharas). The pratimas are mentioned in several ancient texts like Ratnakaranda Shravakachara.
