Here are a few core Jain principles in simple phrases:

• Ahimsa: Non-violence in thought, speech, and action toward all living beings.
• Satya: Truthfulness, practiced with right intention and non-harm.
• Asteya: Non-stealing; taking only what is freely given.
• Brahmacharya: Spiritual discipline of conduct; for laypeople, moderation and restraint; for monks, complete celibacy.
• Aparigraha: Non-attachment and minimal possession; simplicity and generosity.
• Anekantavada: There are many valid perspectives; truth is many-sided and should be approached with openness.
• Karma and liberation: Every action binds karma; purify through right conduct, and aim for moksha (liberation) from the cycle of birth and death.

If you’d like, I can add short everyday examples for each principle.
