But in some ways, Jainism offers a beautifully organized system for living. The religion has three jewels" that Jains strive to follow: right faith, right knowledge, right conduct. Their monks vow to follow a five-point moral code: not injuring life, speaking the truth, not stealing, abstaining from sexual intercourse and avoiding an attachment to worldly possessions.
Lay people take "lesser" vows, pledging to embrace nonviolence, truthfulness and charity. Jains do not believe in one personal God who created the world. Rather, they venerate 24 spiritual teachers, or saints, who are personified in statues that adorn most Jain temples. After worship, the 80 people in attendance gathered in the basement of the temple for fellowship and a vegetarian meal.
