"India's Jains reach out to the under-privileged."

Read the story and watch the video here: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8448290.stm

The article tells us all about what the people in Jain temples in India are doing for the poor and disabled and I think it's fantastic.

I think faith can be a wonderful thing when it benefits others in this way. There are too many people who use their religion as an excuse for things I don't agree with.

Jainism is very similar to Hinduism and they believe in Ahimsa which means non-violence to all living creatures; this is why many Jains are vegetarians/vegans. Many of my Pagan beliefs are very similar to the Jains beliefs.
