Jainism: Monks
built 668 days ago
Jainism has laid down and described in much detail these five great vows for the path of liberation. These are to be observed strictly and entirely by the monks and nuns. Partial observance is laid down for the householders with an additional seven vows.

Jainism advocates right attitude, right knowledge, and right conduct. Jain householders tried their best to revere life, by refraining from harming living creatures. It is recorded, that one of their major arguments was whether monks ought to wear or discard garments.

Monks: Jainism is so austere that only the monk can hope to fulfill all the demands of the spiritual life. In addition to practicing the central virtue of Jainism, [A]himsa (non-injury to living organisms), the monk is expected to refrain from lying, stealing (or using anything which is not first offered), owning anything, all sexual pleasure, and finally, to renounce all worldly attachments and involvements.
