    What is Jainism thoughts about killing bad people

    3 months ago 55

    In Jainism, killing any living being is wrong, even if the person is considered “bad.” Jain dharma teaches ahimsa as the highest principle.

    Key Jain thoughts:

    • Do not harm or kill anyone.
    • Hatred does not remove hatred; nonviolence and self-control do.
    • A person who does wrong should be dealt with through truth, restraint, forgiveness, and lawful protection, not violence.
    • Jainism emphasizes changing the soul through repentance, discipline, and karma purification, not through revenge.

    So, from Jain view:

    • Killing a bad person is also himsa.
    • The right path is to protect life, avoid violence, and oppose wrongdoing without hatred.

    If you want, I can also explain this according to Jain sutras and examples from Jain teachings.
