TEACHINGS OF JAINISM
• Reincarnation—until one finally breaks the cycle• Karma is the glue that sticks you to life• Reduce involvement and one reduces karma• Dualism:
Jiva=soul=good, pure, eternal
Ajiva=matter=bad, impure, temporal
• Asceticism cleanses the soul of the karma• Salvation comes from ones work at release• God, prayers, rituals, etc. aren’t necessary
