In Jainism, non-violence is related not only to humans but also to what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Compassion toward all living beings
Jain ahimsa means avoiding injury and cultivating care toward all living beings, not only human beings. This principle is connected with the belief that life exists in many forms and that harmful actions have ethical consequences. Protecting cities, minting coins or serving a royal court does not express the broad moral meaning of Jain non-violence.
