Teachings of Jainism

The followers of Jainism are bound by their religion to live in such a way that would not harm any being. According to Jainism, one can get rid
of bad Karma and pull themselves out of the cycle of rebirth and achieve salvation through a three-jewel fold path of right belief, knowledge,
and conduct. These three jewels of Jainism are commonly called Ratnatraya. Jains are compulsorily supposed to follow the five constraints in
life:

Ahimsa(Non-Violence)

Satya(Truthfulness)

Asteya (Non-Stealing)

Aparigraha(Non acquisition)
• Bhattacharya(chaste living).
TEACHING OF BUDDHISM

• Gautam Buddha’s teachings revolve around the middle path of the living, the eight-fold
path to enlightenment, and four noble truths.
• The Four Noble Truths comprise the essence of Buddha’s teachings, though they leave
much left unexplained. They are the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering,
the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of
suffering.
TEACHING OF HINDUISM

• Hindus believe that there are four goals in human life: kama, the pursuit of pleasure;
artha, the pursuit of material success; dharma, leading a just and good life; and moksha,
enlightenment, which frees a person from suffering and unites the individual soul with
Brahman.
• These are dharma, kama, artha and moksha. These provide Hindus with opportunities to
act morally and ethically and lead a good life.
• Hinduism :-Hinduism is an Indian religion or dharma, a religious and universal
order or way of life by which followers abide. As a religion, it is the world’s third-
largest, with over 1.2–1.35 billion followers, or 15–16% of the global population,
known as Hindus.
