Jainism is an ancient Indian religion based on non-violence that believes souls can achieve enlightenment by shedding karmic bonds. It divided into the Digambara and Svetambara sects around 200 years after the death of Mahavira, its last prophet, over minor differences like whether monks wear clothes. The Digambara sect believes women cannot achieve enlightenment directly due to rules against nakedness and beliefs that their bodies are less non-violent, while the Svetambara sect disagrees.Highlights of the Transgender Persons(protection of rights) Bill 2016

Buddhism originated in India over 2,500 years ago and has approximately 376 million followers worldwide, making it the 4th largest religion. The founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree and taught others the path to end suffering through moral conduct, meditation, and wisdom.

Buddhists strive to escape the cycle of rebirth through following the Eightfold Path and achieving Nirvana, or perfect peace.

Siddhartha Gautama, born a prince in 563 BC, was dissatisfied with teachings of Brahmin priests and sought wisdom on his own. After seeing an old man, sick man, and dead man outside the palace walls, he realized life was full of suffering and left his family to become a homeless wanderer. While meditating under a tree, Gautama gained enlightenment and became known as Buddha. He taught that suffering stems from desires, and the Eightfold Path can help end desires and attain nirvana to escape suffering. Buddhism eliminated the Hindu caste system and focused on kindness to all living things.Lecture 1 Introduction to Philosophy

Environmental concerns
Jain responses
Although the final goal of Jainism transcends earthly concerns, 1 Jainism is, in essence, a religion of ecology, of a sustainable lifestyle, and of reverence for life. Their religion's entire emphasis is on life consonant with ecology. 2
Jain people can use their experience of applying non-violent principles in meeting the present ecological needs. Their religion presents a worldview that stresses the interrelatedness of all forms of life (Jiva). Its attendant ethics, which is based on obligations, might easily be extended to embrace an earth ethics.
The Jiva is to be respected. As a highly evolved form of life, human beings have a great moral responsibility in their mutual dealings and relationships with the rest of the universe. It is this ethical responsibility that made the Jain tradition a cradle for the creed of environmental protection and harmony.
Jainism is a religion of compassion it aims at the welfare of all living beings. An important principle of Jainism is expressed in Sutrakrta-anga (1.11.33) as follows: "A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated." 3 Inflicting an injury to other beings is inflicting injury to oneself. Ahimsa is the concept of non-violence, the injunction of not harming living beings. It is one of the foremost doctrines of Jainism. It has emerged from the doctrine of the equality of all souls. It grew from the belief in reincarnation:油 a person might come back in the form of an animal or insect, no living creature ought ever to be harmed.
As in Buddhism, and Hindusm, Jain ethics assert that any violence has harmful effects on those who commit it, with consequent ill effects in terms of karma.
"Ahimsa-paramo-dharmah," non-injury to living beings, is one of the basic virtues. To kill a living being is the greatest of sins. Flowing from the Jain principle of non-violence is the tenet of reverence for all life -- not just human life but extending to animal life and, in theory, even to the vegetable kingdom. Jains' practice of non-violence fosters an attitude of respect for all life forms. 4 All living beings are regarded as equal. Jainism insists that there must be no destruction, at least no destruction that has not first been responsibly considered 2 There should be compassion for all living beings at every step of daily life. For the Jains, ahimsa has come to embody ones willingness to separate oneself not merely from acts of injury or killing, but also from the entire mechanism of aggression, possession, and consumption that is so common in the world.
To prevent even accidental damage to creatures, Jains may wear nose masks to prevent inhalation of insects. They may sweep the ground clear ahead of them. Some do not wash for fear of killing body lice or other parasites.油 Although Jain laypeople might participate in tree planting projects, their nuns and monks likely would not.

His PhD focused on steroids and their effects on the human body. He then did postdoctoral research in environmental science in the US, studying how to deactivate dangerous chemicals like Agent Orange through biodegradable processes. His research on lignans also analyzed the significance of these plant metabolites. Through his studies, he realized synthetic steroids were being overused without restraint for profit over health. He also observed how industries were producing chemicals harming the environment. This motivated him to research natural solutions for human and planetary well-being.What is jainism 2009

Sunday 9 October
Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
The blurb:
With the mainstream media watering down the meaning of veganism with it's dietary, fitness and weight-loss focus, is the vegan movement losing its core ethics? There are many reasons and benefits to go - and stay - vegan. Including the environment, labour rights, human rights, animal rights, ethics, feminism, and other intersectionality issues. How can we learn from other social justice movements to move forward in a more inclusive and intersectional way? If more people stay vegan long-term due to ethical reasons, how can we promote consciousness-raising, non-oppression, non-objectification, and anti-consumerism for and beyond the vegan lifestyle?
Find out more about how we can work together as vegans and activists to promote inclusivity, learn from other movements, and lead by example to promote compassion to ALL we encounter. Learn how to become a more effective activist and make these much-needed changes with Leigh-Chantelle's Ethics Beyond the Plate talk.Core of Yoga : English
