Please can someone give me some examples of what are regarded as sins according to the Jain doctrine. I already know violence is a sin.

i have no idea what Jainism is, but what i learned what sin is is any act against god. a simple saying of 'oh my god' is saying the lord's name in vain, which is part of the 10 commandments.
