Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
