Jain Faith Statement on the Environment

The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development posted a Jain faith statement on the environment, prepared by President Dr L. M. Singhvi of the Jain Institute, on their website. The following is the section titled Jainism as a religion of ecology:

"Jainism is fundamentally a religion of ecology and has turned ecology into a religion. It has enabled Jains to create an environment-friendly value system and code of conduct. Because of the insistence on rationality in the Jain tradition, Jains are always ready and willing to look positively and with enthusiasm upon environmental causes. In India and abroad, they are in the forefront of bringing greater awareness and putting into practice their cardinal principles on ecology. Their programs have been modest and mostly self-funded through volunteers."
