SAGGAR MALDE
The golden rule of the Jain religion is Ahimsa or non-violence in all aspects of an individual – mental, verbal and physical. We must therefore act responsibly towards humans, animals, plants and indeed all life by living with compassion and forgiveness. From the Agams or the sacred scriptures I quote: “Killing a living being is killing one's own self; showing compassion to a living being is showing compassion to one’s own self. He who desires his own good, should avoid causing any harm to any living being”. In keeping with the Jain tradition, if anything has been said that has offended anyone here Micchami Dukkhadam. I ask for forgiveness. Thank you |
