One of the most primary or central values in Jainism is nonviolence or the word ahimsa. They believe that anything that is found on earth including humans, animals, soil, sand, fires, insects, plants, microbes are included in this nonviolence or ahimsa. Because of this most Jain's are not only vegetarians but they only will eat fruit, nuts and milk. Fruit, nuts and milk are okay to eat because they are not the living things themselves but are the products of what living things have created. To some even shopping a potato would be considered doing violence to a living being. Because of the restrictedness of ahimsa or seriousness some monks and nuns would wear masks because to inhale or squash microbes would be considered violence to a living thing which could lead to bad karma.

∙ 13y agoHinduism is one of the oldest and definitely the oldest still practiced organized religion. According to many scholars Hinduism is not a single religion.. But a mixture of many related philosophies and theories, where one can pray in whatever way he wishes. Although there are millions of deities worshiped in Hinduism, all are believed to be the forms of Brahman (not to be confused with Brahmin- a caste) who is supposed to be the Parama Atma or the supreme soul. Hindus believe in variety of theories with very different ideologies. But some of the points common to them or the common thoughts they preach are-
1) Brahman Satyam Jagan Mithyam- Only God alone has true existence and he is present within us also.
2) Vasudha Iva Kutumbakam- The whole world is a single family and all of us are relatives.
3) Satyam Eva Jayathe- Truth alone triumphs.
4) Ahimsa Paramo Dharma- Nonviolence is supreme.
5) Shrestho Janmah Manavasya- The Human life form is superior to any other life forms.
6) You will pay for what you did in your previous life and will pay for what you do now, in your later life.
