What do jainism people believe?

Answer 1

the jainism people believe because they are aware of the karam chakra and also believe in the cycle of life and death. but, at the same time they believe that in future only the religion is the base which helps the people , nothing else. on the other side, if you have a believe in the life-cycle you also believe that people have to face the good and the bad things in the human life itself. The one more reason for believing is the jain religion is totlly based on scientific methods, if you are aware of it as in this you have to walk without footwears and scientifically its a good thing. moreover, in the jain religion people prefer to eat dinner before the sunset which is again a scientific way as you have to take your meals atleast 2 hrs before you sleep........ there are a bumber of reasons to prove but, until you believe everything seems to be a story.

Answer 2

Every living being has a soul.

Every soul is divine with innate, though typically unrealized, infinite knowledge, perception, power, and bliss.

Therefore, regard every living being as yourself, harm no one, manifest benevolence for all living beings.

Every soul is born as a celestial, human, sub-human or hellish being according to its own karmas.

Every soul is the architect of its own life, here or hereafter.

When a soul is freed from karmas, it becomes free and god-conscious, experiencing infinite knowledge, perception, power, and bliss.

Right View, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct (triple gems of Jainism) provide the way to this realization.There is no supreme being, divine creator, owner, preserver or destroyer. The universe is self-regulated and every soul has the potential to achieve the status of god-consciousness (siddha) through one's own efforts.

Non-violence (Ahimsa) is the foundation of right View, the existence of right Knowledge and the kernel of right Conduct. Non-violence is compassion and forgiveness in thoughts, words and actions toward all living beings. It includes respecting views of others (Non-absolutism).

Control of the senses.

Limit possessions and lead a pure life that is useful to yourself and others. Owning an object by itself is not possessiveness; however attachment to an object is. Non-possessiveness is the balancing of needs and desires while staying detached from our possessions.

Enjoy the company of the holy and better qualified, be merciful to those afflicted and tolerate the perversely inclined.

Four things are difficult to attain by a soul: 1, human birth, 2, knowledge of the law, 3, faith in the law and 4, practicing the right path.

It is important not to waste human life in evil ways. Rather, strive to rise on the ladder of spiritual evolution.

Navakar Mantra is the fundamental prayer in Jainism and can be recited at any time of the day. Praying by reciting this mantra, the devotee bows with respect to Arihantas, Siddhas, spiritual leaders (Acharyas), teachers (Upadyayas) and all the monks. In this mantra Jains bow down to these supreme spiritual personalities, and therefore, it is also called Navakar Mantra. By saluting them, Jains receive inspiration from them for the right path of true happiness and total freedom from the karma of their soul. In this main prayer, Jains do not ask for any favors or material benefits. This mantra serves as a simple gesture of deep respect towards beings who are more spiritually advanced. The mantra also reminds followers of the ultimate goal, nirvana or moksha.

The goal of Jainism is liberation of the soul from the negative effects of unenlightened thoughts, speech and action. Thus, one's karmic obstuctions are cleared by right view, knowledge and actions. Jain teaching is based on the rejection of caste systems and the principle of reincarnation.
