Acharya Haribhadra Suri was a Śvetāmbara mendicant Jain leader, philosopher, doxographer, and author.

He wrote several books on Yoga, such as the Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya and on comparative religion, outlining and analyzing the theories of Hindus, Buddhists and Jains.

[4] The second account, which bears similarities to the story of Akalanka Digambara, also shows the state of relations between Buddhist and Jain mendicants at the time.

[citation needed] Among his important teachings were tolerance for other traditions, and that ultimate reality can be grasped from multiple different perspectives.

[7] He does however ultimately support Jain thought, arguing that the other beliefs tend to display only a one-sided view of the greater reality.

[8] He tried to combine the good points of various religious philosophies that existed in his times for spiritual liberation in his work Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya.

He writes that though they have different names, the teachings of those who have achieved liberation (mokṣa, nirvāṇa, kevala) are grounded on a common truth.
