JAINISM
RULE 9
If he wishes to establish a home or a house, the spot where it is built should not be too open nor too much concealed (this refers to India, more especially in the past). There should not be bones underneath. The house should not be among quarrelsome people or undesirable neighbours.
RULE 10
He should dress according to his means, should not spend beyond his means; and if he has the means to dress extravagantly, still he should not do so. The dress should not be too showy.
RULE 11
His expenses should be in proportion to his income.
RULE 12
When he lives in any country, if there is some particular, well-known, well-established custom, which does not involve the breaking of any high principle, such custom should be followed.
RULE 13
He should avoid any undesirable habits such as meat eating or wine drinking. There is a destruction of infinite minute life in fermentation.
