Jainism discusses how to achieve moksha with no need for external help by developing your individual karma and liberating your soul.
Tirthankaras, meaning literally "teacher who guides people on the right path," are the architects of Jain doctrine.
As per Jains, there had been 24 Thirthankaras who discovered and preached the path to salvation or enlightenment.
Jains do not see teachers as divine embodiments.
They claim to be regular beings that meditated and learned the ultimate nature of existence by tranquility and discipline.
Although they share Jainism's essential goals and precepts, their beliefs on divine realms, monk clothing, female's status, rites, and texts differ.
