Jīva (Sanskrit: जीव) or Atman (/ˈɑːtmən/; Sanskrit: आत्मन्) is a philosophical term used within Jainism to identify the soul. As per Jain cosmology, jīva or soul is the principle of sentience and is one of the tattvas or one of the fundamental substances forming part of the universe. The Jain metaphysics, states Jagmanderlal Jaini, divides the universe into two independent, everlasting, co-existing and uncreated categories called the jiva (soul) and the ajiva (Sanskrit: अजीव non-soul). This basic premise of Jainism makes it a dualistic philosophy. The jiva, according to Jainism, is an essential part of how the process of karma, rebirth and the process of liberation from rebirth works.

  • 我（梵語：आत्मन्，羅馬化：Ātman）， 或稱命我（英文：Jīva），佛教稱之壽者相，在耆那教教義中，意指真正的自我，相當於人的靈魂。它超越了由形質所構成的、外顯可見的補特伽羅，類似於婆羅門教數論派的教義中 神我的概念。在耆那教的宇宙觀之中，命我是形成世界的基本原料之一。這個術語最早起源於吠陀教教義中的“梵我”，各個本土印度宗教中皆曾被使用。 (zh)
