Jainism

Jainism is a religion with a strong ascetic tradition and three main principles: anekāntavāda, non-attachment (aparigraha), and ahimsa (intentional non-violence).
Anekāntavāda states that truth and reality are complex and always have multiple aspects, and that reality can be experienced but cannot be fully expressed with language.
Jainism teaches five ethical duties, called five vows, which include ahimsa, satya (truth), asteya (not stealing), brahmacharya (celibacy), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness).
Jainism has a strong ascetic tradition, with practices such as nakedness, fasting, body mortification, and penance.
Monastic organization, sangh, has a four-fold order consisting of sadhu (male ascetics), sadhvi (female ascetics), śrāvaka (laymen), and śrāvikā (laywomen).
Jain culture is vegetarian, with devout Jains practicing lacto-vegetarianism.
