Jaine is a term that refers to an individual or a follower of the Jaina religion, also known as Jainism. Jainism is an ancient Indian religion that originated around the 6th century BCE and is primarily practiced in India. Jaines follow the teachings of Lord Mahavira, the last Tirthankara (spiritual leader) of Jainism.
A Jaine is someone who adheres to the principles and beliefs of Jainism, which emphasize non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), non-attachment (aparigraha), and non-possession (asteya). Jaines strive to live a life of morality, self-discipline, and compassion, aiming for the liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth and death (samsara).
Jaines adopt a strict vegetarian lifestyle, as they believe in the sacredness of all life forms and the avoidance of harm to any living being. They also follow a path of renunciation, minimizing material possessions and living a life of austerity. Jaines practice meditation and engage in spiritual practices to purify the mind and develop self-realization.
The philosophy and practices of Jainism encompass asceticism, non-violent activism, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Jaines are known for their strict observance of ethical principles and their commitment to non-harming, making them an essential part of the broader religious and cultural fabric in India.
