Jainism
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Jina Dharma is the way of life and the followeres are Jains. Jina Dharma is nature of substance and there cannot be any founder for nature. Bhaghavaan Rishab Dev revived the principles of Jina Dharma being the first of the 24 Thrithankars - World Teachers.In modern India, Jain community is a minority, but it is growing in the United States, Western Europe, Africa, and other countries.
Jina Dharma has influenced religion, ethics, politics, and economics in India for more than 2000 years. Jina Dharma emphasizes the spiritual independence and equality of all life, and also non-violence. Self-control is a worldly expression and it is really canalising one's capability i.e., 'kowing and seeing' - Gynaatha Dhrishta - on one's own Self - Soul, is how Jains attained the true nature of the soul - liberation -Nirvaan or Moksha. Follwers of Jina Dharma believe that there were twenty-four Tirthankars, or World Teachers who are all knowing - Omniscient - and shared their knowledge.
Jina Dharma lays emphasis on non-violence, truthfulness, vegetarianism, and the presence of a divine soul in every human.
