<P> The main religious premises of Jainism are ahiṃsā ( `` non-violence '' ) , anekāntavāda ( `` many - sidedness '' ) , aparigraha ( `` non-attachment '' ) and asceticism . Jain monastics , renunciants , and devout householders take five main vows known as vratas , outlined in their oldest surviving text , the Acaranga Sūtra : ahiṃsā ( `` non-violence '' ) , satya ( `` truth '' ) , asteya ( `` not stealing '' ) , brahmacharya ( `` celibacy or 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 Jīvānām ( `` the function of souls is to help one another '' ) is the motto of Jainism . Ṇamōkāra mantra is the most common and basic prayer in Jainism . </P>
