Elevator Pitch!! Jainism and Jain Way of Life

• Jainism is a religion and a way of live.
• For thousands of years, Jains have been
  practicing vegetarianism, yoga, meditation, and
  environmentalism. Jains believe in the existence
  of a Soul which is eternal and divine, and that
  each living being has a soul.
• We are all independent souls, and yet
  interdependent for bringing peace to our lives as
  well as to those around us. Jains seek
  spiritual upliftment by practicing the three core
  principles of Jainism Non-Violence,
  Non-Absolutism, and Non-Possessiveness.
• Non-Violence is compassion and forgiveness in
  thoughts, words, and deeds towards all living
  beings. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King
  were popular leaders of this philosophy.
• Non- Absolutism is respect for the view of
  others. Jains seek and encourage dialogue and
  harmony with other faiths.
• Non-Possessiveness is balancing of needs and
  desires, while staying detached from possessions.
  Jains encourage respect for the environment and
  appropriate use of resources.
• By living a Jain Way of Life (JWOL) we can bring
  peace and spirituality to our lives and to those
  around us.
