Here is a simple exam-style introduction to Jainism:

Jainism

Jainism is an ancient Indian religion based on non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), non-possessiveness (Aparigraha), and self-discipline. It teaches that the soul can become pure and free from karma through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.

Main Teachings

• Ahimsa: Do not harm any living being.
• Satya: Always speak the truth.
• Asteya: Do not steal.
• Brahmacharya: Practice control over desires.
• Aparigraha: Do not attach yourself to possessions.

Three Jewels of Jainism

1. Samyak Darshan – Right Faith
2. Samyak Gyan – Right Knowledge
3. Samyak Charitra – Right Conduct

These three together lead to liberation.

Five Great Beings

Jainism honors the Tirthankars, especially 24 Tirthankars in the current time cycle. The last Tirthankar was Bhagwan Mahavir.

Goal of Jainism

The final goal is Moksha — freedom from karma and the cycle of birth and death.
