    kill? kill? kill?

    5 months ago 75

    In Jainism, the clear answer is: No. Do not kill.

    Ahimsā (non‑violence) is the highest vow. Harming any living being – even in thought – creates heavy karma and deep inner disturbance.

    If your question is about:

    1. Killing someone else

    - This is strongly forbidden in Jain Dharma. - Even anger, hatred and revenge are considered violence. - Try to step away from the situation, calm down, and avoid any action you might regret.

    1. Killing yourself (suicide)

    - This is also violence (towards yourself). - Jainism does not support suicide in any form. - It brings very painful karmic consequences and does not solve the inner problem.

    If you are feeling overwhelmed, angry, or in pain right now, please do this immediately:

    • Talk to a trusted family member or friend nearby.
    • If you feel you might hurt yourself or someone else, contact your local emergency number or a suicide/crisis helpline in your country right now.
    They are there to help you in such moments.

    From a Jain point of view, the right direction is:

    • Pause and breathe slowly.
    • Do no harm to yourself or others.
    • If possible, repeat gently: “Ahimsā paramo dharmaḥ” – “Non‑violence is the highest religion,” and try to let your mind cool down.

    If you tell me a little more about what is happening (without naming any target or method of harm), I can try to help you think through it peacefully, within Jain principles.
