Here's a short story:

Jainism (), traditionally known as Jain Dharma, is one of the most ancient Indian religions. 

The three main principles of Jainism are "ahimsa" ('non-violence'), "anekantavada" ('non-absolutism'), and "aparigraha" ('non-attachment'); it is also characterized by "asceticism". Followers of Jainism take five main vows: "ahimsa" ('non-violence'), "satya" ('truth'), "asteya" ('not stealing'), "brahmacharya" ('celibacy', 'chastity'), and "aparigraha" ('non-attachment'). These principles have impacted Jain culture in many ways, such as leading to a predominantly vegetarian lifestyle that avoids harm to animals and their life cycles. "Parasparopagraho Jivanam" ('the function of souls is to help one another') is the motto of Jainism. Namokar Mantra is the most common and basic prayer in Jainism. 

Followers of Jainism are called "Jains", a word derived from the Sanskrit word "jina" ('victor') and connoting the path of victory in crossing over life's stream of rebirths through an ethical and spiritual life. Jains trace their history through a succession of twenty-four victorious saviors and teachers known as Tirthankaras, with the first being Rishabhanatha, who is believed to have lived millions of years ago, and twenty-fourth being the Mahavira around 500 BCE. Jains believe that Jainism is an eternal "dharma" with the Tirthankaras guiding every cycle of the Jain cosmology. 

Jainism has two major ancient sub-traditions, Digambaras and Svetambaras; and several smaller sub-traditions that emerged in the 2nd millennium CE. The Digambaras and Svetambaras have different views on ascetic practices, gender and which Jain texts can be considered canonical. Jain mendicants are found in all Jain sub-traditions, with laypersons ("śrāvakas") supporting the mendicants' spiritual pursuits with resources. (End of story)
