digambarとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Digambar (दिगंबर) (sky-clad in Sanskrit) (alternate orthographies: Digambara) is one of the two main sects of Jainism. The word 'Digambar' literally means "Sky-clad", but it has many different meaning and associations throughout Dharmic traditions. Many representations of deities within these traditions are depicted as sky-clad, e.g. Samantabhadra/Samantabhadri in yab-yum. Certain traditions and lineages also practice Digambar as a lifelong vow as evidenced by numerous sadhus throughout India.
