This story tells about Jainism. Jainism comes from India. Jainism is not too much known but very important in the history of India. Jainism has never moved from India, it is only diindia.

professor of janism lives with the Buddha. his name is Mahavire, he comes from a strong and rich family. when he was 30 years old, he left home and traveled for 12 years and he started teaching. he taught his ideas to his followers for 30 years until he died at the age of 72 years, after he died, Jainism became less important. but then there was a famous king who became a follower of janism.

 At this moment Jainism is divided into two parts. Both groups still believe in the same thing but they live in different ways.

For the followers of Jainism all have life. Animals, trees, flowers, water and stones have life. Every part of the world lives. They live very carefully and think before they do anything. The followers of Jainism did not like to hurt.

All living things are put into five groups, the highest group are people, gods and some animals such as horses, cows, and snakes.

The second group can not hear many things, like bees. The third group can not see or hear. The next group can not hear, see, or smell anything. Some things in this group live in the sea or on the ground. The last group is the largest. They can only feel something. Plants, soil, water, air, rock, fire and wind are in this group.

 From this story I learned about the culture in India. not just the Buddhist originating from India, but also Jainism. To be honest, this is the first time I've heard the word "Jainism" it amazed me and appreciated their beliefs, because Jainism followers do not like to hurt.
