JAIN PRAYUSHAN PARV IS HERE: PRACTICE AND LIVE BY FIVE VOWS

1. NON-VIOLENCE

Empathy, kind loving touch,
Hurt no living thing, as such.
Creeping things and buzzing bees,
Share the world with all of these.

2. NON-STEALING
Take not what is not yours to keep,
Secrets whispered, promises deep.
A gifted thing, a shared delight,
Honesty makes all things bright.

3. NON-LYING
No words that twist, turn and hide,
Truth the gentle path to stride.
Speak with kindness, clear and true,
For me, for them, for her and you.

4. NO LUSTING
Control desires, hold them near,
Lustful thoughts bring only fear.
A simple life, a peaceful mind,
True contentment you will find.

5. NON-POSSESION
Let go of things, let go of gain,
Possessions bring a heavy chain.
Enough is all you truly need,
Plant a generous and loving seed
