Right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct are the three
most essentials for attaining liberation.
In order to acquire these, one must observe the five great vows:
1. Non-violence - Ahimsa
2. Truth - Satya
3. Non-stealing - Achaurya or Asteya
4. Celibacy/Chastity - Brahmacharya
5. Non-attachment/Non-possession - Aparigraha
