09.11.2014 ►JAINA ►World Compassion and Jivdaya Day

Jain Center of America, Queens, NY (JCA) in collaboration with Young Jain Professionals (YJP) and Young Jains of America (YJA) will celebrate World Compassion Day to discuss and promote Ahimsa and Jain Way of Life and its relevancy in the modern world.

World Compassion Day is to pray for the lives and souls of tens of millions of fellow animals that are slaughtered for Thanksgiving every year. Every Living Being has a Soul and deserves our Compassion and the Right to Live.

World Compassion Day will be held at Jain Centers throughout North America. On this coming Sunday, November 23, 2014 from 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM Jain Center of America along with YJP & YJA will host this 2.5 hour seminar featuring video clips and discussions along with a vegan and Jain lunch. The highlight of the event will be a speech by John DiLeonardo, Humane Society of the United States.

Don't miss this event to learn more about our Jain Way of Life and chance to meet and network with other like minded Young Jains and Jain Professionals.

"If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is form injury to animals. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and beauty."  - Albert Einstein
