An Ahimsa Crisis: You Decide: The Minimum Jain Code Of Conduct

Published: 24.07.2016

The Jain code of conduct lays down certain parameters for an ahimsak; the code states:

  1. I will not kill any innocent creature intentionally nor will I commit suicide.
  2. I will not subject any employee or worker to overwork nor will I overload animals and beasts.
  3. I will not propagate misleading ideas or falsely implicate anyone.
  4. I will not enroll as a member of an organization or a party that believes in violence and vandalism nor will I indulge in these activities.
  5. I will not use products that are made from or tested on animals.
  6. I will treat everyone as equals and practice tolerance towards all faiths.
  7. I will practice physical, mental and intellectual nonviolence.
  8. I will earn my living by honest and ethical means without deceiving and taking advantage of others.

By following this code, one attains self-control, friendliness, and compassion as well as freedom from greed. This is imperative for the salvation of every individual.
