________________ INTERNATIONAL JAIN SANGH Pledge for Mutual Respect and Nonviolence On this auspicious occasion, I commit myself to become respectful, nonviolent and peaceful person as best as I can because I know that the world will be a better place because of my effort. Therefore, from this day forward: I will treat all living beings with respect and care. I will treat all human beings with respect, courtesy, and fairness; and I will avoid uncaring criticism, hateful words, and physical attacks. I will apologize and make amends when I have hurt another person. I know that we will grow in a peaceful and safe society when we honor the dignity of each and every person. I will challenge myself to be truthful, and to reduce anger and greed. In my day-to-day life, I will also consider ethical implications before taking any action. I know that my individual choices and actions when combined with others will make a difference.
