Jainism

What is Jainism?

Also known as the Jain Dharma, this religion began with the succession of 24 conquerors (Jinas) in ancient India.
The religion was founded by the last Jina Vardhamana, who in 420 BC fasted to death (an act known as salekhana). The religion has similar ties with Hinduism and Buddhism, but does not have a heaven and hell. Instead, the religion sees the universe as a series of heavens and hells, where karma decides who lives on each level.
