Jainism

  • Followers of Jina ('conqueror'), 599 - 527 BCE
  • Two school of Jainism: Svetamabaras and Digambaras
  • Approximately 7 million Jains worldwide, 30 - 35 Thousand in UK

Jains believe that the world and everything in it is subject to growth and decline on an infinite cosmic wheel. Their lives are a straggle for liberation from this cycle of rebirth, towards a strenuously achieved bliss.
