Accordingly, as Megharatha related:鈥斺�淸...] One day for the sake of fruit they (i.e., R膩jyagupta and 艢a峁卥hik膩) went together to the big mountain Sa峁単hagiri covered with various trees. Wandering over this for the wild fruit, they saw a muni, Sarvagupta, delivering a sermon. Approaching him seated in an assembly of Vidy膩dharas, they bowed to him with devotion and sat down before him. The great muni explained dharma to them especially. For the great are especially tender to the poor. [...]鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
