Within [[Jainism]], time is thought to be a wheel that rotates for infinity without a beginning. This wheel of time holds twelve spokes that each symbolize a different phase in the universe's cosmological history. It is further divided into two equal halves having six eras in them. While in a downward motion, the wheel of time falls into what is known as [[Avasarpiṇī]] and when in an upward motion, enters a state called [[Utsarpini]]. During both motions of the wheel, 24 [[tirthankara]]s come forth to teach the three jewels or sacred Jain teachings of right faith, right knowledge, and right practice, then create a spiritual ford across the ocean of [[Reincarnation#Jainism|rebirth]] for humanity.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bhattacharyya |first=Sibajiban |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/91697 |title=Buddhist Philosophy From 350 to 600 A.D. |publisher=[[Motilal Banarsidass]] |year=1970 |isbn=9788120819689 |page=3|oclc=91697 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Dundas |first=Paul |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71358145 |title=The Jains |publisher=[[Routledge]] |year=2003 |isbn=9781134501656 |edition=2 |page=20 |oclc=71358145 |author-link=Paul Dundas}}</ref>
