I know they don't eat any meat because all creatures are equal. And they have a great admiration for self-control. Outside of that, I dunno.

The three ethical pillars of the Jainism religion,

Ahimsa (non-violence),

Aparigraha (non-attachment), and

Anekantwad (non-absolutism)

are paramount in the goal of Jains followers to free their souls from Samara.

Anekantwad is the belief that all truth is relative to those who experience it.

These three ethical pillars are central to the Jainism religion.
