Round 6: Tossup 7

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

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.)
