Introduction

Throughout my life I have always known what Hinduism and Buddhism are, but I have never learned about their cousin religion Jainism. They are all branches of Shramana. The main differences between them are Jains believe that peace is the most important. Buddhists believe that riding yourself of material things is the most important. And Hinduism is a sacrificial religion. Jainism is one of the oldest and most peaceful religions there is today. Even though it originated in India many other parts of the world have noticed this wonderful religion. And there are many aspects to this religion.
