Jainism

Jainism

A religion that has embraced the concept of karma and ultimate liberation-nirvana, common to the Indian faiths. Without recognizing the existence of a creator-God, it regards the human soul as an eternal substance and the world as primordial. By overcoming the corporeal shell obtained as a result of previous lives, the soul can, by perfecting itself, attain omniscience, omnipotence, and eternal bliss.
