While Jains adhere to principles of non-violence, a loving rib.

To seek understanding, respect, and dissolve the wall.
Beyond divisions and doctrines, let love be our guide,
Unite in compassion, with empathy as our stride.
For in the realm of faith, let’s find common ground,
Embrace the beauty in our differences profound.
Seek wisdom from each path, let ignorance depart,
Embrace the oneness of humanity, a unified heart.
So let’s honor the spectrum, each belief and its hue,
Celebrate the wisdom that diverse traditions imbue.
In this tapestry of faith, let’s weave threads of love,
Embracing our shared humanity, as we rise above.
