Jainism is a religion from India that has been practiced since the 9th century BC that teaches non-violence toward all living beings as a way of life, as the path to liberation, ending the seemingly unending cycles of rebirth in divine union with cosmic consciousness. They attest that the five Tattvas, ether, fire, air, water and earth, are alive and must be held with respect and treated in a non-violent manner. We on this planet have been treating our Mother Earth in a violent manner for much too long. We are an abusive people, to our planet, to each other, to ourselves. Perhaps I cannot change anyone but myself, but that I must do.
