Detailed explanation-1: -Jains believe bad karma is caused by harming living things. To avoid bad karma, Jains must practice ahimsa, a strict code of nonviolence. Jains believe plants, animals, and even some nonliving things (like air and water) have souls, just as humans do.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monks and nuns follow the doctrine of ahimsa in every part of their life with great strictness: monks walk in the street and sweep the ground with the utmost care so as to avoid accidentally crushing crawling insects. monks wear muslin cloths over their mouths to make sure they don’t swallow and thus harm any flies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Perhaps the most popular advocate of the principle of ahimsa in modern times was Mahatma Gandhi.
