Jain Dharma (commonly known as Jainism) places the soul's purity and freedom above worldly attachments. It prescribes a practical path to reduce harm caused by actions, thoughts and speech.
While historically very old, Jain teachings remain relevant today. Everyday practices for followers include careful speech, simple living, conscious diet choices, periodic fasting, temple devotion, study of teachings and supporting non-violent ways of life.
For renunciates, these disciplines become stricter, culminating in vows that remove attachment and promote complete non-violence across body, mind and soul.
