Jainism Study Groups
Taxonomy Code: PV-7000.6500-360
Programs that provide an opportunity for participants to study and discuss the doctrines and practices of Jainism, the religion and philosophy founded in India around 600 BC by Vardhamana Mahavir, 24th of its great religious figures, as a protest against the orthodox early Hindu ritualistic cult period. Jainism does not espouse belief in a creator god. At its ethical core is the doctrine of Ahimsa or noninjury to all living creatures. Its religious ideal is the perfection of human nature which is achieved primarily through living an ascetic life.
