This is a religion that even non-Jains, and indeed non-religious people, can respect and appreciate.

@Zurkhardo7 Because their core and principal doctrine is peace, unlike the dominant ones of today.

Not starting a flame-war here, but isn't the symbol in the beginning of the video should include swastika?

human beings are inherently violent ..people have deviced ways and means to satisfy their viloent urge....and jains who claim to be non-violent are no execption to that...albeit their violence is of a different kind.....through their aggressive business practices and their sick and masochist religious practices which inflict pain and suffering on their own bodies

i was born in a jain household unfortunately.....all this talk of non -violence is bullshit...and a sham....jainism owes its existence to violence ,if hindus had not resorted to violence to fight and protect their faith against islamic conqurerors of central asia,jainism would also have been perished or jains would have to leave india and take shelter somewhere else just like the zoroastrians..it is only because hindus took arms and killed and fought that their identity has been maintained

Jainist Terrorism: having thoughts about meditating a carrot to death. I don't agree with Jainism, but it's hard not to like it.
