Jainism - 2025 ACF Fall

Tossup

Every perspective on reality is partially true according to this religion’s (-5[1])doctrine of many-sidedness. (10[3]-5[3])The first major figure of this (10[1])religion (10[1])lived (-5[1])for a span of nearly 600 (10[1]-5[1])quintillion years. (10[2]-5[3])Fourteen (10[1])internal (-5[1])possessions must not be held according to one of this religion’s (-5[1])five vows. (10[3]-5[5])One (-5[1])of this religion’s two (-5[1])major (-5[2])sects (10[1])is (10[1])the (10[5]-5[1])Svetambara (10[11])(“shway-TUHM-buh-ruh”) or (10[2])“white-clad” (10[9])sect. (10[12]-5[3])The 24 (10[1]-5[1])“ford-makers” (10[2])of this religion, (10[5]-5[1])the latest one (-5[1])being Mahavira (10[3])(“mah-hah-VEE-ruh”), are (-5[1])called (10[1]-5[1])tirthankaras (10[3]0[1]-5[3])(“teer-THUN-kuh-ruhs”). Ascetics (-5[1])of one sect of this religion sweep away (0[1])insects (10[1])with a broom. (10[10]-5[2])For 10 (10[2])points, (10[3])name this (10[2])Indian (10[1])religion (10[1])that emphasizes ahimsa (10[1])(“ah-HIM-suh”), or non-violence. (10[5]0[1])■END■ (10[16]0[10])

ANSWER: Jainism [accept word forms such as Jains; accept sky-clad Jains; accept white-clad Jains; prompt on Svetambara until read or Digambara by asking “what religion is that sect a part of?”] (The first line refers to the doctrine of Anekantavada.)
