very passive and simple. Jains are forbidden from killing or harming any living thing, including plants and insects. Many Jains wear masks over their faces so they do not accidentally breathe in insects.(Hickman,Meredith,9) Many Jains are monks, nuns, traders, craftsmen, or any other occupation that does not involve killing or harming. (Kenoyer, Heuston, 98) Jains have a simple diet of fruit, vegetables*, eggs, and more. They also only eat after sunset.( Kenoyer, Heuston, 127) Jains worship no god or powerful being. They believe that we are trapped in a constant state of rebirth. One is only released from the cycle of reincarnation if they are always truthful, honest, kind, and caring. This is called moksha. Individuals who achieve the status of moksha are admired and respected by the Jain community. (Hickman, Meredith,94) Jainism is an amazing religion who sets a great example, that I hope influences many people all around the world.
