Jainism /ˈdʒeɪnɪz(ə)m/, traditionally known as Jaina Shasana or Jaina dharma (Sanskrit: जैन धर्म),[1] is a nontheistic Indian religion that prescribes a path of ahimsa - nonviolence - towards all living beings, and emphasizes spiritual independence and equality between all forms of life. Practitioners believe that nonviolence and self-control are the means by which they can obtain liberation. Currently Jainism is divided into two major sects, Śvētāmbara and Digambara. The word Jainism is derived from the Sanskrit verb root jin ("to conquer"). It refers to a battle with the passions and bodily pleasures that the Jain ascetics undertake. Those who win this battle are termed as Jina (conqueror). The term Jaina is therefore used to refer to laymen and ascetics of this tradition alike. Jainism is one of the oldest religions in the world.[2] Jains traditionally trace their history through a succession of twenty-four propagators of their faith known as tirthankaras with Rishabha as the first and Mahāvīra as the last of the current era. For long periods of time, Jainism was the state religion of Indian kingdoms and widely adopted in the Indian subcontinent. The religion has been in decline since the 8th century AD due to the growth of, and oppression by the followers of Hinduism[3] and Islam.[4] Jainism is a religious minority in India, with 4.2 million adherents, and there are small but notable immigrant communities in Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and the United States.[5] Jains have the highest degree of literacy of any religious community in India (94.1 percent),[6] and their manuscript libraries are the oldest in the country.[7] The population of Jain community across the world is around 6.1 million.[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism

The three dots above the swastika represent the three jewels of Jainism:
Samyak Darshan (Right Faith), Samyak Jnan (Right Knowledge), and
Samyak Charitra (Right Conduct). We should have all three: right
knowledge, right faith, and right conduct together, then only can we
achieve the liberation. The right knowledge means having the knowledge
that soul and body are separate and that the soul, not the body attains the
salvation. The right faith means one must have faith in what is told by
Jinas, who were omniscient. The right conduct means that our actions
should be void of attachment and hatred.
