INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Jain metaphysics, called Anekantavada or the doctrine of the manyness of reality, is a realistic and relativistic pluralism. A thing has got an infinite number of characteristics of its own. It refers to the simultaneous acceptance of multiple, diverse, even contradictory viewpoints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jainism is a religion of self-help. There are no gods or spiritual beings that will help human beings. The three guiding principles of Jainism, the ‘three jewels’, are right belief, right knowledge and right conduct. The supreme principle of Jain living is non-violence (ahimsa).

Detailed explanation-3: -Jainism is considered to be an eternal dharma with the tirthankaras guiding every time cycle of the cosmology. The three main pillars of Jainism are ahiṃsā (non-violence), anekāntavāda (non-absolutism), and aparigraha (asceticism).

Detailed explanation-4: -Sunyawad does not belong to Jainism because this technique belongs to disciples and Bhikkhus of Buddha. Sunyawad is the philosophy of emptiness.

Detailed explanation-5: -The supreme principle of Jain living is non violence (ahimsa). This is one of the 5 mahavratas (the 5 great vows). The other mahavratas are non-attachment to possessions, not lying, not stealing, and sexual restraint (with celibacy as the ideal). Mahavira is regarded as the man who gave Jainism its present-day form.
