Jain Valugs / Principles
Ahimsa / Non-Violence
Ahimsa teaches us to not hurt ourselves and others with our thoughts, words and actions Ahimsa towards all living beings (humans, animals, insects, plants, earth, water etc.) Our thoughts/intentions are most important when practicing Ahimsa
The hand reminds us to stop and be aware of our thoughts, words and actions
Ahimsa is not just about what not to do but also what we can do... Few examples for positive reinforcement
I forgave someone who hurt me or my feelings I showed compassion to someone who was sad or in pain I showed kindness to people I know and also to people I don't know I had positive and happy thoughts I helped others and shared with others I loved those around me I took care of myself and other living beings
I didn't think any hurtful thoughts I didn't push anyone I didn't get mad I didn't yell I didn't hurt others
No Harm to Self and Others
