Jainism is one of the oldest religions in the world. One of my friends from home is a Jain, and I have one very good friend here who is also a Jain--but it's a very small religious group in India.
Jain Festival
When I saw this slideshow, I thought I'd share it with ya'll--not just because the images are really neat and culturally interesting, but also because I think the religion is just quite noble. These people (as you'll see from the photographs) will blow or sweep insects out of the way so as not to harm them. They will not eat meat, and they strive to protect living things--no matter how small.
It's a statement, I think, in a violent world.
Enjoy.
