Jaina philosophy

Jain philosophy centers on the principles of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), non-possessiveness (aparigraha), and self-discipline. It teaches that all living beings have soul (jiva) and are interconnected; harming others harms oneself. The goal is to achieve liberation (moksha) by eliminating karma accumulated through harmful actions and thoughts. Jains emphasize ethical conduct, self-control, and respect for all life forms. Their practice involves non-violent living, meditation, and purity of thought, guiding individuals toward spiritual liberation and ultimate peace.
