| The Reign of Jainism - Jainism has developed from the teachings of 24 tirthankaras or prophets. The founder of Jainism in its present day form was the tirthankara Mahavira, who fasted to death in 420BC. The five Jain principles are: no violence, no lying, no stealing, no possessions, and chastity. Jains believe in Karma and reincarnation. Any act of violence against a living thing is believed to create negative karma. Some Jains follow fruitarianism: eating only raw fruit and seeds, fallen from their living source. Jains are divided into two major sects, the Digambara sect and Svetambara sect. Each sect has its own monks and nuns. Svetambara monks wear thin and white robes. Digambara monks reject any form of clothing and live naked. Nuns of both sects are clothed. There are fewer than 7 million Jains worldwide, including 3.2 million in India. Between 25,000 and 30,000 live in Britain. | |
