MESSAGE
Jaina cosmology recongnises the fundamental natural phenomenon of Symbiosis or mutual dependence, which forms the basis of the modern day science of ecology. Life is viewed as a gift of togetherness, accommodation, and assistance in a universe teeming with interdependent constituents.
Jainas whether monks, nuns. or householders, therefore, affirm prayerfully and sincerely, that their heart is filled with forgiveness for all living beings and that they have sought and received the forgiveness of all beings, that they crave the friendship of all beings, that all beings give them their friendship and that there is not the slightest feeling of alienation or enmity in their heart, for anyone or anything. They also pray that forgiveness and friendliness may reign throughout the world and that all living beings may cherish each other.
