Jainism

Jainism is an ancient Indian religion emphasizing liberation through ethical restraint, particularly through the principle of ahimsa—non-harm extended to all living beings—and through ascetic practice that minimizes karmic accumulation. Its rigorous metaphysics and demanding path produce a spirituality focused on radical responsibility rather than devotion or grace.
