About this text

The Jain canonical texts preserve Mahavira's teachings on non-violence and the path to liberation.

All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not be slain, nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away.

This is the pure, unchangeable, eternal law which the wise ones who know the world have proclaimed.
