Jainism Religion
Information about the Jainism Religion
Originating in India, Jain spiritual philosophy believes in an eternal human soul, the eternal universe,
and a principle of "the own nature of things." It emphasizes compassion for all living things,
seeks liberation of the human soul from reincarnation through enlightenment, and values personal
responsibility due to the belief in the immediate consequences of one's behavior.
Jain philosophy
teaches non-violence and prescribes vegetarianism for monks and laity alike; its adherents are a highly
influential religious minority in Indian society.
