The five transgressions are: consuming foods which are: animate i.e. with organism, placed near animate food, mixed with animate food or with stimulants and ill-cooked.
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.
