Jain Monasticism is a spiritual practice within the Jain tradition, emphasizing asceticism and renunciation. Monks and nuns, known as sadhus and sadhvis, follow strict ethical guidelines, including non-violence, truthfulness, and celibacy. They often live in communities, dedicating their lives to meditation, study, and teaching the principles of Jainism. The monastic community plays a vital role in preserving Jain teachings and rituals. Monastics often travel to spread their philosophy and engage with lay followers, who support them through alms. This relationship fosters a deep connection between the monastic and lay communities, promoting spiritual growth for both.
