==﻿My questions were: __1) Who is the founder of this religion, 2)When and where was it founded, and 3)What is the religion like.__ Well I am going to answer ﻿all ﻿of the questions in one or a couple of paragraphs. []. This is the link that i found that i will use to help me answer these questions. So, the founder of Jainism is Siddartha Gautama, who we know as the founder of Buddhism, or the Buddha. His name was Mahavira Gautama. He lived his life as a prince, but exhibited that he was interested in religion. He meditated and wanted to get away from the worldly matters. So he went off and went into a more in depth meditation for 12 years. This was when he was thirty. The Jainism religion is about ahimsa, which is to cause no violence toward an animal or human being. It is about satya, which is to be truth full, and always speak the truth. Jainism is also about asteya, which is to not steal unless given to.== ==There is also brahmachayra, which is your self being able to control all your senses and keep yourself from indulgence. Also, there is aparigraha which is to detach yourself from people, places, and material items. They also follow their four guidelines which are: 1) Always give people fair value for labor or product, 2) Never take things that are not offered, 3) Never takes things that are placed, dropped, or forgotten by others, and 4) Never purchase cheaper things if the price is the result of improper method. Like if you buy something illegal. This religion was founded between the 7th and 5th century BCE. It was of course founded in India. So as you can see here is the end of my wiki, and I hoped you all learned something from this.==
