			Jainism is a heterodox (in relation to Hinduism) religion. It rejects the authority of the Vedas.<ref>Chapple, Christopher Key. ''Nonviolence to Animals, Earth, and Self in Asian Traditions''. New York: State University of New York, 1993.</ref>

			Jainism developed two paths of practice, [[mahavrata]] (great vow) and [[anuvrata]] (lesser vow) The former, stricter vow (no taking of any life) applies to monks, the later to lay people who are allowed to take life in some instances.<ref>Chapple, Christopher Key. ''Nonviolence to Animals, Earth, and Self in Asian Traditions''. New York: State University of New York, 1993.</ref>

			Jainas are strict vegetarians. They also exclude alcohol, honey, and certain figs because they harbor other life forms. Chapple, Christopher Key. ''Nonviolence to Animals, Earth, and Self in Asian Traditions''. New York: State University of New York, 1993.

Jainism notes four goals of human existence, these being "Dharma, artha, kaama and moksa" which "are defined in SV I.15 G:I.105-106)<ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002.</ref>

Moksa is achieved via a yoga which encourages [[alignment]], specifically correct "knowledge, faith, and conduct." <ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002.</ref>

Alignment is encouraged via the [[Five Great Vows]]

===Five Great Vows===

The Five Great Vows are vows designed to facilitate [[Alignment]].The basics our outlined below, but elaborations of the strict moral code are provided in the Yoga Sastra of Hermacandra<ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002. p. 24-29.</ref>

1 Non-Harm. Do no harm, either intentionally or unintentionally to any living being.

2. Truthfulness. Speak and write pleasantly, accurately, and truthfully at all times.

3. Honesty. Do not steal from others. Do not take that which is not granted by the owner."The eighteen kinds of continence consist, according to [our tradition] (mata), in abandoning [all] desires pertaining to celestial [beings] and bearers of gross bodies, 2 [humans as well as animals in mind, speech and body, whether one enjoys them oneself, approves of their enjoyment, or makes others enjoy them."<ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002. p. 25</ref>

4. Continence. (read celibacy) "The eighteen kinds of continence consist, according to [our tradition] (mata), in abandoning [all] desires pertaining to celestial [beings] and bearers of gross bodies (auddrika),2 [humans as well as animalsL in mind, speech and body, whether one enjoys them oneself, approves of their enjoyment, or makes others enjoy them."<ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002. p. 25</ref> "One should practice [the great vow of] continence by avoiding (1) houses, seats and dwellings (ku(!ydntara) occupied by women, eunuchs and animals, (2) tales about passionate women, (3) memories of earlier sexual en;oyments [as a house- holder], ( 4) casting a covetous eye in the direction of the "pleasant parts" of a woman and adorning the body, and [finally] (5) by avoiding extravagant and immoderate eating [which will awaken the passions"<ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002. p. 26</ref>

5. Properylessness.<ref>Might be against addiction</ref> "Propertylessness consists in abandoning obsessional desires with respect to any object, because obsessional desires contribute to the mind's bewilderment, even when nothing is present."<ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002. p. 25</ref> "The five exercises of [the great] vow of "nothingness" [or propertylessness] are defined as (1-5) the abandonment of vehement obsessional desire in relation to the objects of the five senses, which are [so] enchanting, (i.e.] when there is a pleasant touch, taste, smell, form and sound. [One should also] completely avoid hatted when these [five sense objects] are not pleasing to the mind." <ref>Quarnstrom, Olle, trans. The YogaSastra of Hemacandra: A Twelfth-Century Handbook on Svetambara Jainism. Cambridge: Harvard University, 2002. p. 26</ref>
