Leaving Chammāṇi the Lord arrived at “Meḍhiyāgrāma” and went for alms to a vaiśya Siddhārtha’s house.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
