The correct answer is: D. None of the above
The mantra of Jainism is “Ahimsa paramo dharma” which means “non-violence is the highest virtue”. Jains believe that all living beings are interconnected and that harming any living being is harmful to oneself. They strive to live a life of non-violence in thought, word, and deed.
Ahimsa is the first of the five great vows (mahavratas) that all Jains take. The other four vows are satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (celibacy), and aparigraha (non-possession).
Jains also believe in the doctrine of karma, which states that every action has a corresponding reaction. Good actions lead to good karma, while bad actions lead to bad karma. The goal of Jainism is to achieve moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth. This can be achieved by following the path of ahimsa and the other four great vows.
Option A is incorrect because Jains do not renounce all sinful acts for life-long. They believe that it is possible to atone for sins through repentance and good deeds.
Option B is incorrect because Jains do not renounce all philanthropies acts for life-long. They believe that it is important to help others, but they also believe that it is important to do so in a way that does not harm any living beings.
