Jaina saints tried all the times to maintain the harmony in different religious faiths and to avoid religious conflicts. That is why Jainism can survive through the ages.

The basic problems of present society are mental tensions, violence and the conflicts of ideologics and faiths. Jainism tried to solve these problems of mankind through the three basic tenetes of non-attachment, (aparigraha), non-violence (ahimsa) and non-absolutism (anekānta). If mankind observes these three principles, peace and harmony can certainly be established in the world.
