Jainism is a philosophy, religion which predates recorded history and originated in Asia. Non-violence and non-injury are among the basic principles of the Jains (Jainism followers).

According to legend (never seen one),they respect life to the point of walking around with a broom, sweeping the floor so they don't step on any insects.

A minority religion in India today, spirituality seekers in the west are growing fonder of it.
