===Jainism=== {{Main|Jainism}} [[File:Ranakpur Jain Temple 01.jpg|thumb|The [[Ranakpur Jain temple|Ranakpur Jain Temple]], located in [[Ranakpur]], [[India]]]] [[Ahimsa in Jainism|Compassion for all life, human and non-human]], is central to [[Jainism]]. They have adopted the wordings of Lord Mahavira [[Jiyo our Jeeno Do]]. Human life is valued as a unique, rare opportunity to reach enlightenment; to kill any person, no matter what crime he may have committed, is considered unimaginably abhorrent. It is a religion that requires monks and laity, from all its sects and traditions, to be vegetarian. Some Indian regions, such as [[Gujarat]], have been strongly influenced by Jains and often the majority of the local Hindus of every denomination have also become vegetarian.<ref>Titze, Kurt, Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence, Motilal Banarsidass, 1998</ref> Famous quote on world peace as per Jainism by a 19th-century Indian legend, [[Virchand Gandhi]]: "May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; may peace rule in states and in the lands of the potentates; may peace rule in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies."<ref>Useful instructions, In Matter religious, moral and others by Motilal M. Munishi, 1904</ref> As with all [[Dharmic religions]] (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism), [[ahimsa]] (avoidance of violence) is a central concept.
