Jainism is a religion and a way of life. For thousands of years, Jains have been practicing vegetarianism, yoga, meditation and environmentalism.
Jains have three core practices :
Strengthens the autonomy of life of every being; Ahimsa – diet, fellow being, environment, thoughts and actions
Strengthens the autonomy of thought of every individual
Strengthens the interdependence of all and share limited resources
These core practices will help us manage our anger, ego, deceit, and greed.
The JAIN WAY OF LIFE (JWOL) respects and honors all living beings. We are all interdependent, and by living a JWOL, we can bring peace and spirituality to our lives and to those around us.
Most Jains are doing less than one minute of prayers/meditation per day. Even the one-minute Namokar Mantra is done with very little mindfulness of its meaning.
