________________ JAIN VALUES AHIMSA PEACE As all actions result from thought, peaceful living requires a stable relaxed mind. SATYA INTEGRITY To be true to others, it helps to be true to ourselves. APARIGRAHA SIMPLICITY A life free from clutter or attachments, enables us to focus on our own enlightenment and liberation ASTEYA CHARITY When we share what we have with others and avoid taking that which does not belong to us, we realise that nothing belongs to us. SAIYAM RESTRAINT We should be masters of our senses and not slaves to them. Restraint in our eating, actions and sleeping will cultivate a deeper peace of mind helping us to lead a balanced and disciplined life. ANEKANT RESPECT Truth has many facets and there are no absolute truths no one right answer. Tolerance for different viewpoints and beliefs will help us to live peacefully amidst the diversity of life that surrounds us.
