Is This The World's Best Religion? by hungryboy(m): 9:38pm On Mar 14, 2015 |
Jainism:Jainism is an ancient religion from India that teaches that the way to liberation and bliss is to live lives of harmlessness and renunciation. The essence of Jainism is concern for the welfare of every being in the universe and for the health of the universe itself. Jains believe that animals and plants, as well as human beings, contain living souls. Each of these souls is considered of equal value and should be treated with respect and compassion. Jains are strict vegetarians and live in a way that minimises their use of the world's resources. |

Jainism facts Followers of this religion undertake five major vows: 1. Ahimsa: Ahimsa means nonviolence. The first major vow taken by followers is to cause no harm to living beings. It involves minimizing intentional and unintentional harm to other living creatures by actions, speech or thoughts. 2. Satya: Satya means truth. This vow is to always speak the truth. Given that non-violence has priority, other principles yield to it whenever they conflict: in a situation where speaking truth could lead to violence, silence may be observed.[17] 3. Asteya: Asteya means not stealing. Jains should not take anything that is not willingly offered.[17] Attempting to extort material wealth from others or to exploit the weak is considered theft. Fair value should be given for all goods and services purchased. 4. Brahmacharya: Brahmacharya means chastity for laymen and celibacy for Jain monks and nuns. This requires the exercise of control over the senses to control indulgence in sexual activity.[18] 5. Aparigraha: Aparigraha means non-possessiveness. This includes non- materialism and non-attachment to objects, places and people. [17] Jain monks and nuns completely renounce property and social relations |
