Document Summary
Jainism has the same six points of vedic religion: karma: anything that is material . Does not engage in material world because the more one engages the deeper they sink into it and more karma fastens onto their souls. Both good and bad acts create karma. By eliminating the inflow of karma, whether good or bad we are cleansing the soul of all karmic particles that will allow for liberation: kala: circular cycle, In every degenerate cycle, 24 jinas that teach the path of restraint come, ahimsa : extremist. Central value thought to be the supreme path (not just towards living creatures) radicalism of non-violence. Does not hurt anything (i. e. don"t step on ants) You do not get punished for going against ahimsa, but you obtain bad karma. Expressly forbidden to cause harm to any living being. Believes that human suffering is real and not an illusion (different than buddhist and hindu)
