Jainism ek prachin dharm hai jo Bharat mein utpann hua tha. Iska mool siddhant ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (celibacy), aur aparigraha (non-possession) par adharit hai. Jain dharm ke anusar, sabhi jeevon mein atma hoti hai aur sabhi atmaon ka uddeshya moksha ya mukti prapt karna hai, jo janm-maran ke chakra se mukti hai.

Jain dharm ke do mukhya sampraday hain: Shwetambar aur Digambar. Jain dharm ka pramukh lakshya apne karmo ko shuddh karna aur atma ki shuddhi prapt karna hai. Iske anusar, ahimsa sabse mahatvapurn vrat hai. Mahavir Swami is dharm ke 24th Tirthankar hain, jo is dharm ke antim Tirthankar maane jaate hain. Jain dharm mein dhyan, tapasya, aur tyag par bhi bahut zor diya gaya hai.
