This includes all dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter, Ghee, and ice-cream, animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, honey, leather items and other products, such as fur, silk, and pearls Reduce needs and wants as best as possible and minimize consumption Do not waste the gifts of nature. Reuse and recycle all the products and share the resources Provide service to lift someone who is down-trodden “Nature provides enough for our NEED and not enough for our GREED." Let us pledge to live a compassionate, ethical and disciplined life, to minimize the negative impact on our life, on the life of others, and on the environment. JAINISM AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
