Jainism ( JAY-niz-əm), also known as Jain Dharma, is an Indian religion whose three main pillars are nonviolence (ahiṃsā), asceticism (aparigraha), and a rejection of all simplistic and one-sided views of truth and reality (anekāntavāda). Jainism traces its spiritual ideas and history through the succession of twenty-four tirthankaras, supreme preachers of dharma, across the current half (avasarpiṇī) of the time cycle posited in Jain cosmology.
