About Jainism:
The Jain Religion is a way of life. For thousands of years, Jains have been practicing vegetarianism, yoga, meditation, and environmentalism. Jainism's three core practices are: - Non-Violence in thoughts, words, and deeds towards all living beings
- Non-Absolutism, or respecting the views of others
- Non-Possessiveness, or the balancing of needs and desires, while staying detached from possessions
